The never-ending news coverage of COVID-19 is enough to fray even the steeliest of nerves. Although “Coronavirus” is a word we heard for the first time several weeks ago, helping our clients navigate uncertainty due to epidemics and global events is not new for us. Rest-assured, Brownell is putting the full weight of our 133 years in business into play to monitor the situation and advocate for our clients.

Our clients’ safety and peace-of-mind is paramount, and we remain vigilant in our attention to this global concern. Below are just a few ways Brownell is preparing for and responding to potential travel disruptions.
- Brownell has initiated an Internal Response Team to support our clients, advisors, and partners.
- We are closely following the advice from authoritative sources such as the World Health Organization, CDC, and the U.S. State Department.
- We are receiving daily updates from our partners in countries that have been affected and are likely to be affected so we have the most credible and relevant information at our fingertips.
- Brownell Travel Advisors are actively monitoring their departure lists and reaching out to clients with recommendations.
- The Brownell Leadership Team is working closely with partners to advocate for flexibility with regards to cancellations and penalties so that our travelers can have some extra time to see how the situation plays out.
| Although we have every hope COVID-19 will be contained and run its course sooner rather than later, we cannot predict what may transpire. We are so very grateful for our clients’ loyalty and understanding, and it is a pleasure to help travelers navigate this beautiful, unpredictable world of ours. |
