HCC Medical Insurance Services, LLC (HCCMIS)
,
a provider of travel accident insurance, announces an infographic
highlighting the potential perils of vacationing in Asia. The
infographic details the potential costs of common travel injuries
such as twisting your leg while running to catch a flight, and less
common accidents like being kicked in the face by a yak while
hiking in the Mongolian Hills.
Asia serves as an excellent vacation destination for a mix of
relaxation, cultural exploration and adventure. Travel hotspots in
Asia include China, Mongolia, Nepal, Japan and the United Arab
Emirates (UAE). Unfortunately, not every vacation can go off
without a hitch. Sometimes tourists should expect the unexpected
when traveling overseas with a group because even if one finds a
good deal on a hotel, the cost of travel injuries can be
substantial.
"It's best to plan ahead, as you might end up spending tens of
thousands of dollars when leaving the country without travel
medical insurance," said Mark Carney, CEO of HCCMIS. "Something as
simple as a twisted ankle or broken foot in your group can be
costly. Fortunately, Atlas Group, our group travel insurance
product, offers coverage costing less than a dollar a day."
This infographic was designed to remind consumers that travel
injuries can inconvenience a planned vacation. For this reason,
travelers must plan for the unexpected before departing.
