We STONGLY recommend you purchase Personal Travel Insurance
Why do I need Personal Travel Insurance?
Domestic or International travellers.
Due to industry disruptions with recent and past airline difficulties, global unrest, last minute airline strikes, lost/damaged luggage on trip, lost luggage generally, health issues especially we notice after Covid, as you will be in a remote area sometimes a (extremely rare) Flightcare air lift is required. So we STRONGLY suggest you purchase 'adequate' Personal Travel Insurance ASAP. It will not replace suppliers bonds, security deposit or terms you will still need to give each supplier the required security deposit/bond.
In a single year we may hear of 3-5 Accidents and Incidents. That's not a lot considering the 100's/1000's of remote travel bookings and referrals we help with.
