Travel Insurance Is space the final frontier of extreme travel insurance?

Is space the final frontier of extreme travel insurance?

Yudi Pratama,

The tragic deaths of five people on a tour to see the Titanic shipwreck last week have put the risks of extreme travel into focus. But despite the dangers, travel to out-there locations such as the South Pole, remote mountaintops, shark-infested waters and space is becoming more popular.

Adventure tourism is expected to bring in more than $1 trillion (about ¥143 trillion) of revenue globally by 2030, up from an expected $316.6 billion (about ¥45 trillion) in 2022, according to market research firm Grand View Research.

And as interest grows, so, too, will the number of search and rescue missions, says Mikki Hastings, president of the National Association for Search and Rescue.

Travel Insurance for a China Vacation (2023)

Yudi Pratama,

Travel insurance is not mandatory to enter China, but traveling uninsured poses a significant risk. No matter how you spend your time in China, you should have a travel insurance plan that will provide coverage for delayed or canceled flights and other concerns.

Mainland China is a popular vacation destination for travelers looking for adventure. Activities like hiking the Great Wall of China, seeing the terracotta warriors and exploring the Forbidden City will excite the culture-inclined. Foodies can enjoy delicacies like Peking duck, Chinese Hot Pot and traditional Char Sui. Meanwhile, cities like Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing offer a metropolitan escape.

Your trip to China could be canceled due to a disease outbreak, or you could require medical coverage if you become ill during your trip. Likewise, US exit bans can be enforced without warning, which could leave you stranded if you don’t have insurance coverage.

Supreme Court Ruling On Student Loan Forgiveness: Latest Updates

Yudi Pratama,

The Supreme Court is expected to issue an imminent ruling on President Joe Biden’s landmark student loan forgiveness plan. The Court released four decisions on Thursday, but none were on Biden’s student debt relief initiative.

Thursday had been the last official day on the Supreme Court’s calendar to release opinions. But that doesn’t mean the decision isn’t coming. The Court will add additional dates for releasing decisions, as several cases remain outstanding.

Here’s what to expect.

The Supreme Court Will Soon Rule On Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness Plan

The Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness initiative would provide millions of borrowers with one-time debt relief. Borrowers who earned income within program guidelines could receive $10,000 or $20,000 in loan forgiveness on government-held federal student debt,

Travel Insurance for an Ireland Vacation (2023)

Yudi Pratama,

Ireland doesn’t require travel insurance for US visitors. But coverage for medical events, trip cancellations and rental cars can save you from losing money to sunk costs and expensive medical bills. The US Embassy warns that US health insurance may not work in Ireland, and you may have to pay healthcare expenses upfront.

Travel to Ireland often requires connecting flights. A delay or cancellation could have a snowball effect, causing you to miss the next leg of your journey or lose hotel reservations. Strong Atlantic storms or ash from volcanic eruptions in neighboring Iceland could halt flights. Trip cancellation insurance accounts for these unexpected events.

Finally, despite good driving infrastructure, Irish roads compared to US roads are narrow and winding, which may challenge many American tourists. It’s a smart reason to take car rental insurance.

Here are the five travel insurance policy types to consider when planning an Ireland getaway.

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,
