Protecting yourself and your investment while traveling is critical. There are several reasons for this. The first one being that it covers trip cancellations or interruptions due to unexpected occurrences such as diseases or natural calamities. This implies reimbursement of expenses that cannot be refunded such as the airfare and accommodation costs among others. In addition, travelling insurance also includes medical plans for travel expenses especially to countries with expensive healthcare. It has a 24 hour emergency service line which can be called upon in event of medical referrals or loss of passport. Also, it pays for expenses incurred during travel delays or missed connections thus reducing financial impact related to that. Another thing is that it covers lost baggage and personal items too. Furthermore, there are travel assistant services offered to aid in planning the trip and locating places on arrival in them among other things like concierge services. A policy may provide coverage for adventure activities including medical costs and evacuation fees among others though not limited to adventure sports menu. Finally, even through travel insurance covers emergencies only, it provides peace of mind since no one knows what is going to happen tomorrow when someone is on a trip
