Denmark is a country steeped in history as well as natural beauty, and is gaining the attention of international travelers. Danes consistently rank as some of the happiest citizens in the world, and their capital city, Copenhagen, is often described similar to Portland, Oregon: a mix of diverse geography, great food, and quirkiness. How quirky? They host events like World Pillow Fight Day every year.

Let’s explore more about Denmark, why your clients would want to visit, and how they can protect their trip with travel insurance.

Look around: arguably the most powerful form of media today is not the printed word or still photos, but videos. Take a peek at your social media timelines. How many “quick-and-easy” recipe videos do you see shared by your friends? What about news summary videos?Or the “must visit” travel destination videos?

It’s a digital world and video is winning. Videos are keeping the attention of an audience that is being inundated by dozens of other stimuli, and even eliciting emotion. 

When planning a trip, the possibility of a natural disaster striking is often overlooked or minimized. Sure, your travelers might make contingency plans if they’re booking a Caribbean cruise during hurricane season or flying through Chicago during winter, but what about the disasters that aren’t predictable - like an earthquake or volcano? How can your travelers plan for those?

In short, make sure your clients have a good travel insurance policy that covers against natural disasters. The types of situations covered and the type of coverage itself will vary from provider to provider, so it’s important to understand the ins and outs of the policies you sell to your travelers.

Sometimes, travel insurance is forgotten when planning a domestic trip. But why? There are many benefits travel insurance can provide for travelers who are not leaving the country. For example, would you fly from Hawaii to the continental United Statesunprotected? Learn why travel insurance is not only smart for international trips but for domestic ones as well.
