Hong Kong, [Insert Date] — Hong Kong residents traveling within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) now have access to tailored, enhanced travel insurance solutions, following a new strategic partnership between AXA Hong Kong and Macau—a leading insurance provider—and Motogo, a prominent mobility services provider in the GBA. The collaboration aims to address the region’s unique travel needs, from frequent cross-border trips to unpredictable weather risks, by delivering comprehensive coverage that prioritizes peace of mind.
The partnership introduces two innovative insurance products, each designed to target specific pain points of GBA travelers:
This core offering focuses on two critical areas of travel protection: medical emergencies and travel disruptions—both common concerns for residents crossing between Hong Kong, Guangdong, and Macau. The policy provides extensive coverage for unexpected medical expenses incurred during trips (such as hospital visits, emergency treatments, or ambulance services) and compensates for losses arising from travel disruptions, including flight or transportation delays, trip cancellations, or lost luggage. By covering these foundational risks, the product caters to the needs of both short-term day-trippers and longer-stay travelers in the region.
Recognizing the GBA’s susceptibility to typhoons— which often disrupt cross-border travel, ferry services, and outdoor activities—the second product offers automatic payouts when Hong Kong or the GBA destination issues a typhoon warning signal of Level 9 or above. Unlike traditional insurance that requires filing claims with extensive documentation, this feature streamlines support: travelers receive compensation directly once the warning is activated, helping them cover unexpected costs (such as extended hotel stays or alternative transportation) without delays.
According to representatives from AXA Hong Kong and Macau, the partnership with Motogo is a response to the “growing, evolving demands” of GBA travelers. “Cross-border mobility is a defining feature of life in the Greater Bay Area—Hong Kong residents commute, travel for leisure, or conduct business across the region regularly,” a spokesperson for AXA explained. “At the same time, factors like unpredictable weather and occasional travel disruptions mean reliable insurance is no longer optional—it’s essential. Our collaboration with Motogo allows us to design solutions that are not just comprehensive, but also flexible and aligned with how people actually travel in the GBA.”
Motogo, which specializes in mobility services across the GBA (including car-sharing, ride-hailing, and cross-border transportation support), brings on-the-ground insights into traveler behavior to the partnership. A Motogo representative noted that the insurance products are “tailored to the GBA’s unique ecosystem”: “We understand that GBA travel is frequent and often spontaneous. These insurance solutions are built to fit that lifestyle—no unnecessary red tape, coverage that kicks in when travelers need it most, and protection for the risks they actually face.”
For Hong Kong residents, the new offerings mark a significant upgrade from generic travel insurance, which may not fully cover GBA-specific scenarios (such as cross-border medical claims or typhoon-related disruptions). With the launch, travelers can now access protection that is localized, responsive, and designed to support the region’s seamless mobility—reinforcing confidence in safe, worry-free trips within the Greater Bay Area.
