Climate Change: Can it Ruin Your Travel Plans?

We’ve known for some time that the earth is warming. According to information from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the planet hasn’t seen such a trend in more than 10,000 years. This results in rising temperature, warmer oceans, shrinking ice sheets, rising sea levels and other phenomenon.

How does the rising temperatures affect the weather?

According to an article by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), as temperatures rise, changes in weather will become more common.

This includes increases in frequency and severity of:

• Floods
• Hurricanes
• And other weather phenomenon

Climate change represents increased risk for those looking to travel. What if:

• A hurricane destroys your vacation destination, or hits while you’re on location
• A flood makes travel to your destination ill advised
• A tsunami washes out the resort where you were planning to stay

If any one of the above-listed scenario occurs, you’re travel budget could be at risk. What happens to any nonrefundable charges if you can’t go on your trip due to climate catastrophe’s beyond your control? Are you just out that money?

“Not necessarily,” says Dan Drennen, Director of Sales and Marketing at Travel Insurance Center^®. “One way to hedge against this risk is by obtaining travel insurance.”

Where can you get travel insurance?

There are a number of ways to get travel insurance. For example, you could contact an insurance company that offers travel insurance solutions. However, that insurance company will only offer you their travel insurance options. What if their solution doesn’t meet your needs as well as some other company’s option? What if you could get the same coverage for less money by going to a competing insurance company? You’ll have to do some serious work to ensure you’ve contacted the right insurance company and obtained the most suitable travel insurance for your needs and budget.

But you don’t have time to do all that. You’re planning a vacation for goodness sakes – that’s a job in itself. You don’t need other hassles.
