The International Palm Society strongly recommends that all travelers purchase comprehensive travel insurance before embarking on their journey. Such insurance offers crucial protection against unforeseen circumstances that might disrupt or influence your travel arrangements. While we make every effort to ensure a seamless trip, certain situations beyond our control could potentially result in unanticipated setbacks such as delays, cancellations, medical emergencies, or lost possessions.

Travel insurance should always include:

• Medical expenses and coverage to get you home if you’re injured or fall ill abroad.
• Personal injury and coverage for accidents or damage caused by you.
• Coverage for lost or damaged items.
• Cover for lost or delayed baggage.

Travel insurance should apply to the total value of trip, including airfare and registration fees.
