Alex Tonello - Insurance BrokerTips for a Safe Travel

Safe travel seems like an oxymoron in today’s world. Nowadays, we have to be prepared for new challenges like threats of terrorism, viral outbreaks and a seemingly greater number of natural disasters.

Despite the additional precautions, Canadians are continuing to travel and are even heading to more exotic destinations.

For those Canadians venturing out into air travel, here are six tips to take to safeguard your health and pocket books:

1. Buy supplemental travel insurance. Statistics show that 40 per cent of travellers rely on their company or group plan, but be sure to read the fine print to see whether you need additional insurance coverage. Only some travel insurance programs offer medical polices that protect you in the event of emergency injury or sickness resulting from terrorism.

2. Check your travel insurance cancellation policies. Under what circumstance will your policy refund your ticket in case you cancel your trip? Will there be coverage for natural disasters or non-medical evacuations?

3. Check the Canadian Foreign Affairs Travel Advisories. This website provides nine levels of travel warnings to politically unstable countries at http://www.voyage.gc.ca/index-eng.asp.

4. Visit your local travel clinic to get required shots and ask what health precautions to take for your destination. The Canadian Public Health Agency provides a list of clinics for each province at website http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/tmp-pmv/travel/clinic_e.html#bc.

5. The Canadian Public Health Agency also collaborates with international disease control organizations to provide the latest updates on outbreaks (www.TravelHealth.gc.ca). For example it monitored Avian Flu outbreaks among travellers this past May in Indonesia. It provides advice regarding immunization, disease treatment and prevention, and general health advice when travelling internationally.

6. With greater restrictions on what you are allowed to carry on board flights, keep a spare hardcopy of your prescription in case you lose your actual medication and need to get a refill at your destination.
