Family vacations are a cherished time for creating lasting memories, bonding, and escaping the routines of daily life. From planning a family vacation to the anticipation of exploring and having treasured moments, it’s a time many families hold dear. However, sometimes unforeseen circumstances can throw a wrench into even the most carefully curated plans.
Take, for example, the Pawars’* story—they took a tropical vacation of a lifetime to Fiji, but due to unforeseen weather conditions, it was interrupted. Read further in the blog about how TuGo’s Trip Cancellation & Trip Interruption Insurance helped the Pawars recover the costs of their family vacation.
Family vacation interrupted by hurricane
The Pawar family of three travelled to Fiji. However, they discovered that after their arrival, the Fijian government placed the island under a hurricane watch. The family decided to return home because they couldn’t predict how long the hurricane warning would last.
They decided to book a hotel for the night on the main island while waiting for their newly scheduled flight.
How TuGo’s travel insurance saved $27,000
Though the Pawars were dismayed when their vacation plans were interrupted, they felt much better knowing that they had purchased Trip Cancellation & Trip Interruption Insurance weeks before; it covered the cost of their unused accommodation, tours and activities, as well as airfare to return to Canada. This decision to protect their trip investment ensured they could recoup their unused vacation costs.
When it comes to having extra protection for your precious family vacations, taking the extra step to invest in travel insurance can make a significant difference. This story serves as a reminder of the importance of preparing for unforeseen circumstances when planning a family getaway.
