Is Travel Insurance Worth It?

Yudi Pratama,

After booking airfare and locking down your accommodations for that big trip, spending money on travel insurance is probably the last thing you want to do. But the additional expense of purchasing a policy could save you big time in certain circumstances, and depending on the details of your trip, it’s borderline financially irresponsible not to pick up some coverage.

CNBC Select explains what travel insurance covers, when it makes sense to get a policy, and what alternatives to explore if you want some protection without purchasing insurance.

What is travel insurance and what does it cover?

Travel insurance is a type of coverage designed to protect against risks and financial losses before and during your trip. These risks often include unforeseen events such as missed airline connections, delayed luggage, injuries or minor illnesses. The typical price of a travel insurance policy is between 4% – 10% of your prepaid,

Travel Insurance for a Spain Vacation (2023)

Yudi Pratama,

There are currently no requirements for US citizens to obtain travel or health insurance as a condition of entry to Spain for trips spanning fewer than 90 days. This also includes the other Schengen countries in Europe, like neighboring France. However, many business travelers and tourists may want travel insurance for protection against sudden costs — including unexpected medical expenses and trip cancellations.

Some travel insurance plans also offer coverage for sports enthusiasts in the event of injuries and medical emergencies. Adventure activities are popular in Spain, from water sports in Barcelona and Bilbao to rock climbing in Serrania de Cuenca. But general emergency medical coverage also extends to tourists visiting major cities like Madrid and Valencia.

We outline some of the most common travel insurance coverage options below.

Cancel for Any Reason Coverage

When you buy a travel insurance policy, you agree to the conditions for using your coverage.

Artificial Lake & Chairlift, Auli – Aroma Of Life

Yudi Pratama,

The artificial lake in Auli is perched at an astonishing elevation and is one of the world’s highest man made lakes. It was created to help in providing artificial snow on the ski slopes in the event of random rainfall. This also helps in extending the skiing season in Auli. The lake is located right next to the Clifftop Club and we did cover some of its pictures in our very first blog post on Auli.

The snow-clad mountains, skiing slopes and azure-blue water make for the most amazing scenery. The fact that it is a man-made lake does not dampen the magic and beauty of the place in any manner. Nature truly holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.

The rope way connecting Joshimath to Auli is 4 kms long and offers magnificent views of the Himalayan landscape. If you really want to have

The Best Travel Insurance Plans For Different Types Of Trips

Yudi Pratama,

Every trip is different. So when Brian Carcich set out on an ambitious multi-country tour, he knew his travel insurance would have to keep up.

The policy needed to work everywhere and cover more than the essentials, such as trip interruptions and delays.

“For example, what happens if you need emergency medical care or hospitalization?” he wondered. “Credit card benefits help with some of these, but will only get you so far.”

So Carcich, a marketing executive from New York, did what many travelers do before their upcoming trips: he researched his travel insurance options to find the right plan. It’s a daunting but necessary exercise that you ignore at your own peril this summer, which may be the busiest one for travel in a generation.

And Carcich is glad he did, because it turned

Anantaya – Aroma Of Life

Yudi Pratama,

Anantaya is a lifestyle design studio that is centered on the philosophy of using traditional crafts in a contemporary style. The gamut of products designed includes home decor, textiles, lighting, furniture, gifts etc. The store is located in the beautiful surroundings of Narain Niwas Palace, a place that provides a perfectly apt background for such eclectic products.

What I love most about Anantaya is the fact that there is a deep-rooted tradition behind each of their products, whose relevance has been so elaborately explained and then the product is designed in a completely unconventional way but nowhere losing on the origins. Whether it is the Cresent serve ware or the Lotus mirror, each item has been conceived not only from the beauty perspective but their being conducive to the overall well-being of a house.

There’s also a separate section dedicated to organic skincare with things like soap, lip balm, aroma
