Travel insurance vs health insurance: what is the difference?

Many people think having health insurance is enough and travel insurance is unnecessary. In fact these two serve different purposes and complement each other.

Health insurance usually focuses on treatment within a familiar system, sometimes limited to your initial registration place.

Travel insurance covers risks arising during the journey such as delays, lost luggage, and emergency care far from home.

When traveling far, combining the two gives you more complete protection. Review your current benefits before deciding which extra plan to buy.
