NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 18, 2026 / Blue Ribbon Bags (BRB), the global leader in delayed baggage protection and recovery, today announced its growing inclusion as a built-in value-add within tour operator travel packages, enhancing the end-to-end experience for travelers.

This momentum follows BRB's recent membership in the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA), a trusted authority representing the highest standards in tour operator excellence. As part of this network, Blue Ribbon Bags is working closely with tour operators to seamlessly incorporate its service into packaged travel offerings at no additional friction to the traveler.

By including Blue Ribbon Bags directly in their packages, tour operators are elevating their service offering with an added layer of protection and peace of mind. If a traveler's bag is delayed for more than 96 hours, BRB provides compensation of up to $1,000 per bag while actively tracking and expediting its return.

"Tour operators are constantly looking for meaningful ways to enhance their offerings without complicating the booking experience or adding extra costs," said Robert Ardino, Vice President at Blue Ribbon Bags. "Including Blue Ribbon Bags as a built-in value-add gives travelers immediate reassurance while helping our partners stand out in a competitive market."

As travelers increasingly prioritize reliability and service, the inclusion of baggage protection within tour packages reflects a broader shift toward more comprehensive travel solutions. Rather than being an optional add-on, Blue Ribbon Bags is becoming a standard component of premium, traveler-first itineraries.

"Being part of USTOA has opened the door to deeper collaboration with operators who share our commitment to service," Ardino added. "Together, we're ensuring travelers can focus on the experience not the what-ifs."
