Be Sure To Insure Your Honeymoon 

Travel insurance will protect your investment and provide coverage while traveling 

The wedding venue has been reserved, DJ has been booked, flowers have been chosen, dress has been picked and the guest list has been sent out.  Now you can focus on something that you truly deserve and want to put your best efforts into.  It’s time to pick and book the honeymoon.  Your honeymoon is the vacation that you and your significant other will remember for the rest of your lives.  Some choose a quiet relaxing break in the Caribbean, while others try an adventurous trip and visit the Galapagos Islands.  Heck, some people go to Europe and check out all of the historic sites.  No matter what type of honeymoon you choose and where you will visit.  You must protect your investment and purchase travel insurance.

Why you need travel insurance

As reported by Brides.com, the average honeymoon costs $4,500.  The costs of honeymoons all over the world vary.  For example, Honeymoons in the Caribbean and Mexico cost between $5,000 to $7,500. Couples spend anywhere from $6,000 to $25,000 for trips to Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, etc. 

Now let’s put that in perspective of the average cost of a vacation for two costs.  The average cost for two travelers to take a vacation cost $2,300, as indicated by Credit Donkey.  So, the average honeymoon costs twice as much as an average vacation and sometimes much more depending on location.

The most important benefit of travel insurance is to protect your investment in your trip.  Travel insurance could reimburse you if something unforeseen were to occur like travel delay, sickness, injury, and death of a family member.

Another reason why you should purchase travel insurance is that it can be a requirement to enter your destination.  If you don’t comply with your destination’s travel regulations, you will not be able to enter the country and will be stuck in customs waiting for a flight home. So, before you make your travel arrangements review the COVID Controls website.  

This tool will tell you everything you need to know about how COVID-19 is affecting travel.  This site has indicated that the following countries require travel insurance before entering them:  Anguilla, Antarctica, Aruba, Bahamas, Brazil, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Egypt, French Polynesia, Iran, Jamaica, Japan, Lebanon. St. Maarten, Tahiti, Thailand, Turkey, Turks and Caicos, and the United Arab Emirates.

Make sure you get enhanced travel insurance benefits

Travel insurance protection varies between plans.  We at Trawick International highly recommend that anyone booking a honeymoon should purchase a trip cancellation policy with the additional “Cancel for Any Reason Benefit" (CFAR).  This benefit allows travelers to cancel their trip two days before they are scheduled to depart and provides reimbursement for up to 75% of prepaid expenses.  In this world with so much uncertainty, a policy like this provides enormous dividends.  We live in a COVID-19 world and anything can happen, so make sure you take the extra protection and purchase a trip cancellation policy that provides CFAR benefit.

Jamaica Spring Break Travel Regulations

Jamaica Travel Regulations 2021

Traveling To Jamaica This Spring Break? 

Make Sure You Know About The New Travel Regulations 

Known for its beautiful beaches, golf courses, water activities, and energetic nightlife Jamaica is a spring breaker’s paradise. Spring break is not just for college students. Many families will be traveling to Jamaica to enjoy all that it has to offer this spring.  With beautiful tourist destinations such as Negril, Montego Bay, and Ocho Rios.  Travelers wanting to experience have three beautiful and uniquely different tourist attractions to visit while enjoying some well-deserved fun in the sun.  Before you tee off or stick your feet into the sand, you must be aware of the new travel regulations travelers from abroad have to comply with before they can enter Jamaica. 

New Regulations to Enter Jamaica 

Like many other countries that have been up for travelers from abroad, Jamaica has implemented strict travel regulations for international visitors to follow before entering Jamaica.  As reported by Travel & Leisure magazine, starting March 10th, anyone arriving in Jamaica will be required to present a negative COVID-19 test, taken within three days of their arrival. Previously, tests were accepted from up to 10 days before. The order applies to all travelers aged 12 or older. Travelers can use Jamaica's Online Test Calculator to determine when they should take their tests before their trip. Jamaica will only accept PCR, NAA, RNA, or antigen tests for entry. 

In addition to submitting your negative PCR test, travelers must go to travelauth.visitjamiaca.com 2-5 days before their trip and provide the necessary information to complete the travel form.  After completing the travel form, travelers will undergo a health risk assessment and then receive their travel authorization form, which they must show at the airport to enter Jamaica. 

What to do in Jamaica this Spring Break 

Now that we have discussed all the technical and essential information travelers need to enter the country.  We can focus on what fun things you can do while visiting Jamaica.  Publicized by US News, here are some fun activities to try while visiting: 

Ocho Rios 
Dunn Rivers Fall and Park 

If you're staying in Ocho Rios or just visiting for the day from a cruise ship, travelers insist you allot a couple of hours to climb the Dunn's River Falls. You can take a guided climb of the waterfall, hike a trail alongside it or just recline and relax on the beach at the bottom.  Vacationers say that climbing along the rocks to the top of the falls isn't rigorous, but it can be slippery. Recent visitors said you could keep your footing by wearing water shoes. 

Negril 
Seven Mile Beach 

Check your calendar before taking your tots to the cumin-colored sands of this western beach in Negril. As its name suggests, Seven Mile has plenty of space for you to find a spot, but you'll share the area with a few adults-only resorts, as well as those who like to sunbathe in the nude. When the sun goes down, the sandy spread becomes a popular party spot.  Recent travelers said Seven Mile features the clearest water they've ever seen, with others calling it perfect. Still similar to many Jamaican beaches, Seven Mile sometimes has vendors who can often be persistent in hopes of selling everything from crafts to beer to fresh lobster. 

Montego Bay 
White Witch Golf Course 

The 18 holes of the White Witch Golf Course sprawls across 200 acres of the Rose Hall Estate. Designed by revered course architects Robert von Hagge and Rick Baril, White Witch is praised for its stunning landscape and helpful staff. In fact, 16 of its holes feature ocean views. If you're a beginner or moderate golfer, White Witch will likely be challenging for you – its hilly terrain has been described as a "roller coaster" by some travelers. 

Protect Your Investment in Your Trip 

Before you step foot on that beautiful tropical Seven Mile Beach in Negril or before you tee off at White Witch, make sure you contact us and obtain a customized travel insurance plan that fits your individual needs or your family's needs.  Available on Trawick Internationals Safe Travels First Class and Safe Travels Voyager Trip Protection Plans, the Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) option provides partial reimbursement of up to 75% of the insured prepaid non-refundable trip costs when you cancel your trip for a reason not listed on the policy.  Please note that this optional upgrade is time-sensitive and must be purchased within the time frame listed on that plan - either 10 or 21 days.  To qualify for the CFAR benefit, you must insure your entire trip cost. To use the CFAR option when canceling your trip, you must cancel your trip in its entirety, at least two days before your scheduled departure date.
