Travel Insurance
It is highly recommended that you have emergency travel medical insurance when traveling abroad.
In today's landscape trip cancellation and trip interruption insurance are a way to protect your travel investment should you not be able to travel at the time of departure.
Many work-based group benefit plans as well as some credit cards will offer travel insurance. I suggest contacting them prior to booking your travel to see what you are covered for and what the terms and conditions are.
