AXA has extended its existing partnership for the provision of travel insurance with travel company TUI until 2009.
AXA and TUI, the parent company of brands such as Thomson and Crystal, have been in partnership since 2002.
At the start of this year, TUI re-positioned its offering by removing free travel insurance from its packages and selling it separately at a reduced rate.
AXA said: "The new offering from TUI is one of the most comprehensive and competitively priced available and has taken the high street by storm. In its first quarter of 2006 alone, insurance conversion rates have doubled."
Victoria Wilkinson, Corporate Partnerships Director of Retail and Travel at AXA Insurance, said: "TUI is one of our most important travel partnerships. They're one of the biggest operators in the travel industry and we're the biggest travel insurer in the UK; the partnership makes perfect sense."
