Why Should I Buy Travel Insurance?

Buying travel insurance is essential as it offers financial protection and peace of mind. It covers medical costs if you get sick or injured, assists with lost or stolen items and compensates for trip cancellations or delays. This ensures you're prepared for unexpected events, making your trip safer and more enjoyable.
