The Remarkable Story of Travel Guard International in a Conversation with John Noel.

The September 11th tragedy and the ensuing global economic and travel downturn made the years 2001-2004 some of the worst in the history for the travel insurance industry.

Through this turbulent period, John Noel was able to grow Travel Guard International into a global giant and one of the most respected names in the travel insurance industry.

From this growth, in 2006, Travel Guard was sold to American International Group for an undisclosed sum.
