East Hartford, CT (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

Within the past few years, the travel industry dealt with a steady decline of revenue due to the recession during 2008 and 2009. During this time frame, individuals spent a dramatically lower amount of money on leisure activities, which then caused the amount that consumers spent on travel to steadily decline. The travel insurance industry began to see growth again leading from 2010 to 2011 when travelers took a greater interest in insuring their plans because they did not want to risk losing a large sum of money that was invested in a trip due to an unexpected occurrence such as a cancellation or delay. During Summer 2012, the travel industry is expected to grow due to disposable income steadily increasing.

With summer travel fast approaching, disposable incomes rising, and consumers beginning to invest a greater of portion of their incomes on travel expenses, Travel Insured urges travelers to invest in coverage more than ever. The increase in travel, as well as the increase of natural disasters has boosted the demand for travel insurance protection. It is also crucial for consumers to be aware of protecting their investments due to a higher risk of flight cancellations and delays. Policies can protect unforeseen events including Trip Delay or Cancellation, Medical Emergencies, and Lost Baggage.

Travel Insured International®, a leading privately-owned travel insurance provider, urges fliers who may have overlooked travel coverage as a necessity in the past to reconsider for future summer travel plans.

• Under the Worldwide Trip Protector, Worldwide Trip Protector Gold, or Trip Protector Lite Expanded plans a covered illness can include recurrence of a pre-existing condition illness provided the plan was purchased within 14, 21 or 30 days of the initial trip deposit, depending upon the selected plan, and other simple purchase requirements have been met.
• Family members (of the insured or his or her travel companion) whose illness can trigger coverage under Trip Cancellation / Trip Interruption include parents, a legal guardian, step-parent, grandparents, parents-in-law, grandchildren, natural or adopted children, children-in-law, brother, sister, stepbrother or stepsister, brother or sister-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew.
