The infographic highlights the value of travel medical insurance, for foreign visitors or holiday travelers. Accidents or illness can happen anywhere, and the costs can be staggering. For instance, a single travel accident can cost tens of thousands of dollars to treat. Many travelers, though, are unaware that travel medical insurance can be purchased for less than $1 a day. If someone is into activities such as bungee jumping or skydiving, additional extreme sports coverage for engaging in those pursuits while traveling can be purchased for an additional cost.
As more people become aware of the importance of obtaining travel medical insurance while visiting or studying in another country, it becomes more important for companies like HCCMIS to embrace cutting-edge techniques for educating the online community. Mark Carney, CEO of HCCMIS, discusses this innovative way of educating travelers. "Our goal is to inform travelers of the need for travel medical insurance, whether they are working, traveling or studying abroad. Infographics like these allow someone new to our products to learn in a unique and interesting way."
