Buy International Travel Insurance for Macau

There are so many insurance providers around. Yet, you should consider picking the policy from Digit. We offer a range of benefits, many of which are simply unavailable from other travel insurance options.

Here are some advantages of purchasing a travel insurance plan from Digit:

• Adventure Sports Cover - If one of the primary reasons for your Macau visit is to undertake extreme activities, such as bungee jumping from the Macau Tower, you need to take proper precautions as well. If things go wrong during such activities, you would need immediate medical attention. Digit’s insurance allows you to claim coverage for hospitalisation when the injury occurs due to participation in single-day adventure sports.
• Perfect Customer Care Solution - Digit’s Macau travel insurance becomes even more desirable when you consider that the company’s customer care team is ready to assist you 24x7. All you need to know is the toll-free number +91-730347000. Give a missed call at the number whenever you need to secure help from Digit. A representative will call you back within a few minutes.
• Missing/Delayed Luggage in Transit - Often, airports and carriers lose track of passengers’ baggage. When such a thing happens, you have no way to immediately reclaim the lost baggage. Under normal circumstances, such a thing would severely hamper your travel experience. However, with Digit’s travel insurance for Macau, you can buy the necessary items until you acquire your bags. You wouldn’t even need to spend money from your own pocket to acquire these necessities.
• Personal Liability Cover - Suppose you are driving a rented vehicle on your Macau trip and end up causing an accident. Unfortunately, the car is badly dented and broken due to the accident. You are liable to pay for all necessary repairs in such a case. If you possess a Digit travel insurance plan, however, your liability in such a case shifts to the insurer. You do not need to pay for damages from your own pocket.
• Inexpensive Premiums - One would think that a plan, offering so many benefits would be pretty expensive. However, Digit’s travel insurance is just the opposite. The company’s Macau travel insurance plan starts at just Rs. 225 per adult traveller per day of stay. The policy’s sum insured is $50,000. Yes! The policies are just that cheap. A taxi ride is literally more expensive in India. 
• Loss of Passport is Covered - Losing or theft of your passport during your trip can be devastating for your travel plans. While you can easily arrange for an interim passport, doing so involves considerable expenses.  If you are looking to avoid spending such exorbitant sums, availing Digit’s policy can be just the thing you need. The company offers reimbursement for expenses related to re-issuance of your passport.

These are just some of the advantages that you can expect from Digit’s thoughtful plans. Further, you can also look forward to several other benefits from the brand as well.

A former Portuguese colony, Macau presents a strange fusion between Chinese and Portuguese culture. Macau is perhaps one of the only places in the world that are culturally enriched by both the diverse ethnicities. Popular for its mesmerising sights, the country is also referred to as ‘Las Vegas of the East’ due to the several casinos and gambling opportunities in the destination.

Best Time to Visit Macau

• October to December – Macau’s autumn season begins in October and lasts until December. During this period temperature and weather conditions remain ideal for travelling. Due to almost no rain and typhoon warnings, this is the stretch that you should plan your vacation to Macau for an optimal experience.
• March to May – Although this is the spring season, Macau receives some rainfall during this period. However, the other days remain relatively dry and sunny. 

Top 5 Places to Visit in Macau

Limiting the best places and activities to undertake in Macau to just five pointers is difficult. However, here are some places that you should visit without fail during the vacation.

• Senado Square - Also known as Senate Square, this is the most popular tourist site in Macau. The Senate building here is where the square gets its name from. It reflects the Portuguese architecture and is a fine example of the colonial influence in the country.
• St. Paul’s Church Ruins - The original cathedral construction was destroyed by fire in 1601, following which a new structure was created in 1637. However, it too met the same fate in 1835 when the building was destroyed due to a typhoon and fire. Today, you can go and take a look at the remaining façade. Although incomplete, this façade itself is an impressive sight, especially for religious and architecture enthusiasts. 
• Fortaleza do Monte - This fort acted as one of the primary defence outposts for the Portuguese back in the day. Later, it was transformed into the governor’s residence. However, if you visit the fort today, a three-story Macau Museum will welcome you, housing many interesting artefacts from the country.
• A-Ma Temple - A-Ma is a beautiful Buddhist Temple that was constructed towards the end of the 15th Century. It is classified as a UNESCO Historic Centre. When visiting the site, ensure that you explore all of the six accessible areas, including Hall of Guanyin, Prayer Hall, Zhengjiao Chanlin, Gate Pavilion, Hall of Benevolence and Memorial Arch.
• AJ Hackett Macau Tower - One of the most recognisable destinations in the nation, the Macau Tower was constructed to enhance broadcasting and telecommunication. Tourists can go up to the observation deck of the 338 metres tall Tower and take a look at the expansive country below. Additionally, thrill-seekers can proceed to explore the skywalk around the rim of the observation deck.

These are just some of the most popular sites that international travellers visit in Macau. However, there are countless other places that are just as beautiful and spectacular as the places mentioned above.
