We understand that travellers have faced many challenges with worldwide travel restrictions and advisories while being urged to come home by their respective countries. These uncertain times have called for unprecedented measures, which were never a part of anyone’s travel plans to begin with.

These are challenging times for all of us, as we’re seeing unprecedented measures enacted by governments and the travel industry. This includes TuGo too; so we’re doing our part to help curb the effects of COVID-19—most importantly making sure Canadian travellers return home safely.

It’s not just medical emergencies that can keep you from travelling. And, in light of additional rules now in effect under Canada’s Air Passenger Protection Regulations, it’s the perfect time to outline how travel insurance for delays, cancellations, and interruptions can cover you, too.

We Canadians love to travel, no matter the season! Wherever we’re headed, we know we’ll need to pack travel insurance. But all travel insurance isn’t created equal. And with so many options, sometimes it’s tough to know how to find the perfect plan.  

Planning a winter vacation to one of Mexico’s popular destinations: Cancun, Los Cabos, Mazatlán, or Puerto Vallarta? The warm weather, the beaches, the R&R…What’s not to love about vacationing at a Mexican hotspot?
