Travel insurance is a necessary risk management tool that assists you when you travel. There are many undesired occurrences which may happen during travel. Some of them include medical emergencies, trip cancellation, trip interruption, loss of baggage and theft of baggage amongst others. Often times, the traveller may not have adequate funds to finance these eventualities. Insurance can help you at the point of need.
It is beneficial for the traveller to consider having insurance. Sometimes travellers take it for granted that they will travel and return without anything happening along the way. Life does not always work perfectly like that. Insurance assists you in the event of medical emergencies and in the process can assist in saving your life, just in case you fall sick during your journey or your stay. The other dimension is that it assists in helping you with personal liability just in case any damage has happened to a third party
