Is travel insurance required?

Travel insurance is not explicitly required by ElderTreks, but it is highly recommended for travelers participating in their tours. Travel insurance can provide financial protection against unexpected events such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, or travel delays. Given the nature of international travel and the potential for unforeseen circumstances, having coverage can offer peace of mind. While it is ultimately the responsibility of each traveler to decide whether to obtain insurance, many participants find it beneficial. Individuals considering a trip are encouraged to review various insurance options and find a policy that best meets their specific needs.
