Missing
Special Events Can Ruin Your Vacation Unless You Have the Right
Travel Insurance.
LOS
GATOS, Calif. (July 20, 2012) -- This year's London 2012 Summer
Olympics is expected to attract more than 11 million visitors, and
there are more than 16 million tickets being sold for Olympic events
at prices ranging from $30 to $3,100. With so many people gathering
in one place for so many events, any number of things can prevent you
from seeing the Olympic event that you may have traveled thousands of
miles to experience. According to TripInsurance.com,
the most trusted online resource to help travelers find the trip
coverage they need, the right travel insurance can help protect your
Olympic investment if you are delayed or miss your favorite event for
some unforeseen reason.
Many
travel insurance policies include coverage for nonrefundable shore
excursions or events, such as tickets to a special event such as the
Olympics, Wimbledon, the America’s Cup, the Super Bowl, or a
Broadway play. Depending on the specific insurance plan, if you miss
a scheduled event because of an accident, illness, illness in the
family, a work commitment, or some other unforeseen circumstance, you
can either recoup the cost of the event tickets or, in some cases,
the cost of the entire vacation. For those who have spent thousands
of dollars to attend the 2012 Summer Olympics, this kind of travel
insurance is essential.
“The
Olympics is a great example of the kind of vacation that offers no
flexibility in your vacation timing or travel scheduling,” noted
Dan Skilken, founder and CEO of TripInsurance.com. “After investing
all that time and effort to get tickets to the Olympics, a delayed
flight or train or an overbooked hotel can ruin your entire trip.
Travel delay coverage is your best defense and is included in most
travel insurance policies, so you are covered if you miss an event
that was the focal point of your trip.”
