Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been selling travel now for just about 20 years. I've booked almost hundred million dollars of travel for my clients.

About 15% of my clients do have to cancel their trips every year.

Cancellation by far is the number one reason why most people buy insurance.

If you're okay losing that 20 grand or 30 grand or whatever it is? If you're okay losing that, turn off this video is not for you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider travel insurance for cancellation to avoid losing tens of thousands of dollars.
βœ“Ensure insurance covers medical emergencies while traveling abroad.
βœ“Look into trip interruption coverage for unexpected early returns home.
