More and more these days we have seen the value of purchasing travel insurance. According to the U.S. Travel Insurance Association, Americans spent nearly $1.6 billion on travel insurance in 2008, reflecting a steady growth in sales of some 13% over the last two years.*

The top three reasons are:

• Peace of mind
• Protection against the unexpected
• Concern over losing the financial investment in a trip

Travel insurance will offer coverage and protection for many things that may occur before and during your trip. Travel insurance is now an essential part of a worry-free vacation for the smart traveler.
