What is Travel Insurance, and Why Does It Matter?

From medical emergencies and lost luggage to trip cancellations, the right cover ensures you’re not left paying out of pocket when things go wrong.
- Without travel insurance, even a minor incident overseas can become financially overwhelming.
- With the right protection, you can focus on enjoying your trip, not worrying about risks.
