With International Terrorism in the Spotlight, Travel Insurance Can Help Ease Some Fears










(PRWEB) October 8, 2005

PRWEB) October 8, 2005 — With international terrorism rearing its ugly head yet again, travelers are unnerved at the prospect of going away. Another set of terrorist attacks in the island of Bali have put a damper on many travel plans. Sadly, terrorism has become a world-wide concern, but there are options available to help travelers protect themselves and their families. Travel insurance offers a refund of your trip cost in case of a terrorist act in the city that is part of your itinerary.

When it comes to terrorism insurance, there are three main coverages that insure a safe trip: Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance.


Insurance companies offer protection up to 100% of your trip cost under coverage of Trip Cancellation, if you need to cancel your trip in case of terrorism. Coverage starts at midnight from your purchase date and covers you up to your date of departure. Travelers should keep in mind that there are many other valid reasons that exist for canceling a trip.

Trip Interruption covers you in the event your trip gets interrupted and you are forced to head back home prematurely. Up to 150% of your total trip cost is protected since unscheduled flights are more expensive than scheduled ones.

Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance, often known as AD&D, offers coverage in case of an accidental death. Coverage begins at $ 10,000 and can go up to $ 1 million.

Visit http://www.totaltravelinsurance.com/terrorism-insurance.asp for more detailed information.

Alex Velinov, President of Total Travel Insurance, says, “Since 9/11, we have been feeling a little safer domestically. Traveling internationally has been another story. Areas that are frequently visited by Americans such as Europe, Israel and parts of Asia had a string of terrorism attacks. Although, travel insurance is not a perfect solution, several options are available. Insurance will reimburse your trip investment in case of your travels were disrupted or provide medical treatment and evacuation in case you get injured. We even found a company that will insure your life while traveling to world’s hot sports including Afghanistan, Iraq and Israel.”

Twenty Years and Still Going Strong: The Educational Travel Community Reaches an Important Milestone

Posted on April 21, 2011 by optivity

Twenty Years and Still Going Strong: The Educational Travel Community Reaches an Important Milestone










St. Ignatius, MT (PRWEB) February 7, 2006

The Educational Travel Community will convene in Baltimore, Maryland, from February 21 thru February 24, 2006, at the Marriott Waterfront Hotel. The 20th annual Educational Travel Conference (ETC) will focus on “Inspirational Performances” and the past, present and future of educational travel in the world today.

“Travel provides inspiration through our experiences of the world — from conflicts to caring — and encourages us to keep the world in our hearts and minds,” said Mara DelliPriscoli, Founder, of the Educational Travel Conference 20 years ago. An entrepreneur and visionary, DelliPriscoli has led the nonprofits and their travel programs in facilitating program development and collaborative networking between nonprofit organizations and tour operators, travel supplier and destinations working within the field of educational and affinity travel. “Educational travel is truly a passport to peace, and we are 100% committed to creating connections with all peoples of the world through our work in this field,” continues DelliPriscoli, a true pioneer in this field.    

More than 130 nonprofit travel planners representing institutions from across the US and Canada in cooperation with over 30 domestic and foreign government tourist offices and more than 120 special interest tour operators and travel supplier will attend and exhibit at the ETC. Distinguished institutions from Harvard to Stanford, Notre Dame and public universities including the University of Arizona and the University of Virginia, and museums including the Smithsonian and the American Museum of Natural History are just a few among many of the respected educational institutions that will attend the ETC.

The Conference is programmed with great vertical depth each day with over 120 speakers over the 4 days of pre-conference and conference activities designed for the nearly 500 delegates. Because the delegates represent the leverage of travel programs and thousands of global travelers from alumni associations and members of a variety of organizations, ETC is committed to professional development and continuing education for the delegates. They will be in “school” for 3 days learning in-depth information about hot topics including UNESCO sites, communicating risks to travelers, the latest CDC and medical community information regarding infectious diseases like avian flu, SARS, and any unforeseen crises that may occur in response to health, terrorism and natural disasters.

One of the main features of this year’s Conference is the main speaker for the Responsible Tourism day on February 22, Dr. Harold Goodwin, the “guru” of the responsible tourism movement. Dr. Goodwin is the Director of the International Centre for Responsible tourism in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, the University of Greenwich, in England. He is also the co-founder of http://www.responsibletourism.com.

“There is a growing market demand for responsible tourism to learn why goodness sells and how it makes a positive difference for all involved, from providers and suppliers, to client to host communities of indigenous peoples,” says DelliPriscoli. “Travelers’ philanthropy, voluntourism, and fair trade tourism practices, will be highlighted at this year’s Conference.” Sessions will focus on educational travel with a priority focus on the positive economic impacts travel can have on local communities while minimizing ecological, social and cultural impacts.

For more information on the “Conference with Substance,” go to http://www.travelearning.com. Please call Ann Harwood at 406-745-3089 to make your arrangements for your press pass and more information. You will find more stories in one conference than any other.

VirtualTourist.com Announces Launch of ‘The Real Deal’ Travel Deals Newsletter

Posted on April 21, 2011 by optivity

VirtualTourist.com Announces Launch of ‘The Real Deal’ Travel Deals Newsletter











Deals Picture


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 28, 2008

VirtualTourist.com, one of the world’s largest sources of unbiased, 100 percent user-generated travel content, launched The Real Deal newsletter this week. The newsletter, which will be sent to subscribers on a weekly basis, will contain deals related to all aspects of travel.

In keeping with the company’s user-generated philosophy, The Real Deal newsletter relies on VirtualTourist’s nearly 1 million members to find the best travel deals available anywhere. Members post deals they find in the site’s ”Deals” section, then, newsletter editors pick the best to be included in The Real Deal. VirtualTourist Business Development Director, Brew Johnson, explains the advantage of this process: “We have a worldwide network of real travelers with expertise in every market. They can identify deals that professional travel editors simply can’t. It’s like having eyes all over the world.”

The Real Deal editors will supplement member-posted deals with top-quality sponsored deals. The Real Deal editor Sophie Gonin explains: ”We’ll include some sponsored deals in the newsletter, but only if they stack up to our member-posted deals. We want our readers to get the best deals, sponsored or not. Bottom line: if it’s not a good deal, it will be rejected.” Gonin also points out that the site is composed of equally opinionated members who are able to comment on all deals (a feature that is unique to The Real Deal): ”They travel constantly and they know a good deal when they see it; especially members who keep going back to the same place and become experts on a certain territory or route.”

Recently on a deal for a five-night, air-inclusive package from New York to Tahiti, VT member Agraichen commented, ”Ah … Moorea … one of my favorite destinations. Great prices and great deals for the money.” Gonin expresses the importance of comments like this: ”When readers see other travelers verify how good these deals are, they can be confident they actually are getting a deal.”

The newsletter’s inaugural issue included a six-night package with air from Miami to Peru for $ 899 and a three-night stay with air at Las Vegas’s Venetian for $ 575. Interested readers can sign up on the site’s home page at http://www.virtualtourist.com.

About VirtualTourist.com

VirtualTourist.com is one of the largest online travel communities in the world and a premier resource for travelers seeking an insider perspective on travel information, from Las Vegas hotels to New York City restaurants. At http://www.virtualtourist.com, real people share real advice on places they’ve traveled as well as their hometowns; they research and plan trips, and they interact with other avid travelers via travel forums and email; over six million travelers use the site monthly. VirtualTourist boasts more than 1.6 million travel reviews and 3 million photos on more than 58,000 destinations worldwide. Unbiased, user-generated content on Hotels, Attractions, Local Customs, Tourist Traps and much more is posted entirely by VirtualTourist’s more than 980,000 registered members from over 220 countries and territories, and the site’s Trip Planner feature allows users to create custom print-and-go travel guides. Among VirtualTourist’s awards and accolades: ‘Sites that Changed Our World,’ The Guardian; ‘Favorite Website,’ Newsweek; ’35 Best Travel Sites,’ Travel Leisure.

About Travel Ltd. Encourages Travelers to Book a Hotel Room Just About Anywhere with Launch of its Company Website: AboutAnywhere.com

About Travel Ltd. Encourages Travelers to Book a Hotel Room Just About Anywhere with Launch of its Company Website: AboutAnywhere.com











Ashwin Kamlani, CEO of AboutAnywhere.com

Miami, FL (PRWEB) October 15, 2008

About Travel Ltd., a UK-based start-up company specializing in finding destination-specific websites for discount hotel reservations, has launched its company website at http://www.aboutanywhere.com. The site is dedicated to finding local hotel websites in every city and town, providing consolidated hotel reservations , travel reviews and recommendations, and tourist information posted by visitors on the company’s network of 40,000-plus destination-specific websites.

Both budget- and comfort-conscious travelers can visit the company’s main site as well as individual sites focusing on specific destinations across the globe. With a Destination Directory that includes such cities as Alajuela in Costa Rica, Nanjing in China, and Amman in Jordan, it appears that the parent site is keeping true to its name…you really can find a great deal on a hotel room just AboutAnywhere.

“Even though the ability to book travel online started long ago, the online travel agency space is still very fragmented. Each online agency has a stronger focus in a particular geographic region and until now online consumers did not have one website that offered truly global coverage. Our aim is to fill that space. We have connected with all of the well known online agencies around the world, and have opened up our network to smaller, local players, offering our customers the most elaborate portfolio of hotels and travel options on the internet,” said Ashwin Kamlani, CEO of AboutAnywhere.com.

Travel bloggers can also partake in the website’s development and maybe even get new ideas for future travel. In addition to finding hotel deals in major cities and in the most remote locations that often go unmentioned by the well-known online travel agencies, visitors to the website can reference first-hand travel reviews and recommendations. The website receives hundreds of daily postings from travelers who share their personal stories about experiences in certain hotels and cities. This tool may come in handy for those looking to travel to distant places, or to try exotic foods at an unfamiliar restaurant during their travels.

Customer service is a high priority in this privately held company with all transactions closely monitored for quality assurance and accuracy. Multilingual, live assistance is also available via phone or e-mail to complete all hotel room reservations. The booking process is quick and easy with a lowest rate guarantee.

The Company has also created the AboutAnywhere.com Verification Seal, which is quickly becoming a widely recognized symbol of credibility among websites in the travel industry. Customers who see this seal on a website, even if it was not found through AboutAnywhere.com, can rest assured that the website they are using is trustworthy and that a high level of customer service will be provided. Customers can easily identify fraudulent seals because one click on the seal should direct customers back to AboutAnywhere.com’s homepage.

About the company: About Travel Ltd. operates the largest network of destination specialist websites in the world.

World First Reveals the Benefits of Family Travel Insurance

Posted on April 20, 2011 by optivity

World First Reveals the Benefits of Family Travel Insurance










Honiton, UK (PRWEB) February 14, 2011

With February half term and Easter on the horizon, travel insurance specialist World First Travel Insurance is advising families to consider taking out a family policy when planning all of their holidays for the year. A family travel insurance policy can also be used for individual travellers named on the policy and children travelling independently of their parents on school trips or other holidays when accompanied by an adult.

Family travel insurance policies offer great value for money and can cover up to two adults and four children on the same policy. Single parent family travel insurance offers the same benefits for all individuals named on the policy and covers one adult and up to four children.

Getting an annual travel insurance policy for a family holiday means that any future holidays booked during the next 12 months will also be covered and, importantly, all named individuals will be covered, whether they travel as a family or not.

Martin Rothwell, managing partner of World First Travel Insurance said: “With February half term just around the corner and Easter and summer breaks already being planned, families can find some great deals on holidays. Whether it’s a sporting adventure, a relaxing beach holiday or a ski break, family travel insurance is a great way to save money in the long run.

“We have found that many people don’t realise that once they have a family policy they are covered for any future holidays during the duration of the policy. Often people will contact us for an individual policy for a business trip or to try to find cover for their children who are going on a school trip, without realising they are already covered. I would like to encourage anyone with a family who may be planning a holiday to consider a family policy as an easy and cost effective way to get cover for the family unit, as well as all of the individual members of the family.”

Family travel insurance can be tailored to suit individuals and can cover European or Worldwide trips where each holiday can last up to either 31 or 62 days at a time. Family policies can also include cover for pregnant women, travelling with a young baby and children under the age of 18.
