Ecotourism Insurance

What is Ecotourism?

Ecotourism combines conservation efforts with travel and tourism. Ecotourists travel to natural areas with the goal of learning the environment and local people. The ultimate goal, though, is to leave as minimal an impact as possible on these resources.

There are many reputable ecotourism travel suppliers. Unfortunately, as this trend has grown, other groups have tried to take advantage of both travelers and – more regrettably – the local people in the destination. Before you book a conservation vacation, find out how to know if a tourist experience is ethical. While you want to explore the world, you also want to save it for future generations.

Ecotourism And Travel Insurance

Because ecotourism typically takes place in more remote locations, it’s necessary to have the right travel insurance plan. Often, these destinations do not have adequate medical care and if an emergency should occur, treatment would require an evacuation. These can be costly, and your primary health insurance may not cover you abroad. But with a travel insurance plan that includes medical and evacuation coverage, your concerns are limited.

Likewise, you will want to protect your trip investment. It isn't cheap to travel to Ecuador's Galapagos Islands, experience a photo safari in Kenya, or immerse yourself in the wonders of the Himalayas in Nepal. What if you – or a family member – gets sick and you have to stay home? Will you get your money back? This isn't a concern if you have the proper travel insurance protection.
