INDIANAPOLIS - Thursday, March 3rd 2011 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HCC Medical Insurance Services, LLC (HCCMIS), a leader in international travel health insurance, recently released an infographic highlighting amazing places to visit in 2011. Unique activities appealing to adventure seekers interested in swimming with sharks in South Africa, dog sledding in Alaska, and volcano climbing in Mauna Lao are a few of the featured exotic vacation destinations.
Other top picks included large events such as the SXSW Conference and Festivals, historical landmarks like the Ruins in Macchu Picchu and one of the most well-known natural features of Japan, Mount Fuji. The Japan National Tourist Organization reported that over eight million international travelers visited Japan in 2010. According to the World Tourism Organization, international tourism grew 7% in 2010 and is expected to increase worldwide in 2011.
Regardless of their travel plans, international travelers should consider travel assistance services they might need if an illness or injury happens while abroad. Mark Carney, CEO of HCCMIS, states, “If a serious incident occurs in a remote location, it could cost tens of thousands of dollars for a medical evacuation. Many visitors to foreign countries might be unaware that access to a life-saving medical evacuation may not happen until payment is guaranteed in advance.” Worldwide travel health insurance, through the Atlas Travel Series, includes emergency medical evacuation coverage and can be purchased for less than $1 a day.
