Travel Insurance: Because “It’ll Be Fine” Isn’t a Strategy

Let’s talk about something that’s not exactly glamorous, but absolutely essential: travel insurance. Now, before your eyes glaze over and you start thinking about that time you “winged it” in Thailand with nothing but a backpack and blind optimism—remember: this isn’t about you. It’s about your team. And your business. And not having to expense a €900 emergency doctor’s visit.

Travel Insurance Isn’t Just for Nervous Flyers Sure, most trips go off without a hitch. But when they don’t? That’s when travel insurance becomes the unsung hero of your business travel policy. Here’s what it can cover: • Flight delays and cancellations (because weather, strikes, and “technical issues” happen) • Lost luggage (because someone’s suitcase always takes a detour) • Medical emergencies abroad (because food poisoning doesn’t care about your sales pitch meeting)

“But We’re a Small Team, Do We Really Need It?” Yes. Yes, you do. Because even one unexpected incident can cost more than the entire trip. And let’s be honest—no one wants to be the person explaining extortionate expenses to the Finance Dept.

Good News: You Don’t Have to Figure It Out That’s where I come in. As your travel management partner, I can: • Build a tailored travel insurance plan that fits your team, your destinations, and your budget • Ensure every booking includes the right coverage—automatically • Handle the paperwork (so you don’t have to Google “how to file a claim in Portuguese”) • Keep your travellers informed about what’s covered and how to get help

Let’s Make It Happen Travel insurance isn’t about expecting the worst—it’s just about being ready. And when your team knows they’re covered, they’re able to focus on the job at hand; doing great work, wherever they are in the world. So let’s make sure your next trip is protected, professional, and panic-free.
