Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance: It's also important to consider purchasing travel insurance. It's one of those things you hope you never need, but it provides peace of mind, knowing you're covered for any unexpected turns along the way.

When selecting a travel insurance policy, we strongly recommend a policy that includes medical coverage and a minimum coverage of USD 200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment, and loss of luggage and personal effects. 

Please visit this link for comprehensive travel insurance plans through AIG Travel Guard. When selecting the amount of coverage, we suggest it covers the cost of the retreat plus the estimated cost of your flights.
