新年外遊行大運,旅遊保險保平安

Categories: Health Insurance, Healthcare, Hong Kong, Medical Insurance, News | Published on January 16, 2012

近年香港經濟暢旺,帶動不少港人趁龍年行大運,與一家大小或三五知己一起結伴到外地旅遊,渡過一個輕鬆愉快的農曆新年。過去農曆新年旅遊旺季,港人多次在外地遇上特大旅行團車禍,危及性命並造成財物重大損失,一再突顯了購買旅遊保險的重要,可惜有調查發現眾多團友無意購買旅遊保險

三成港人新年旅遊不買保險

早前旅遊業議會主席胡兆英表示近三成外遊團團友並未購買旅遊保險,尤以短線旅行團團友為甚,短線旅行團團費往往僅數百元,而旅遊保險的保費約為80元,權衡輕重後團友可能會認為保費相對太高,因此購買旅遊保險的意欲較低。

事實上,世界各地著名的旅遊勝地時有意外發生,例如上年同期已經先後有兩個香港旅行團在內地遇上嚴重車禍,最終導致5死30多傷,由於可見意外難以預計,為防不時之需,港人旅遊時切勿掉以輕心,最好事前購買旅遊保險,以策安全。

現時一般旅行團不會強制要求團友在購買旅遊保險後,才可以出發,主要原因是擔心會令消費者反感,只有部份長線郵輪假期的舉辦者,為了保障參加者安全,才會強制顧客必須先購買旅遊保險才可出發。

嚴選最佳復活節旅遊保險

鑑於今年復活節只需請3天假、便可連放10假期,適宜進行長短綫旅遊,不少港人已經開始計劃去旅行,即使他們有意在旅行前預先購買旅遊保險,他們往往只著眼於計劃的價格,忽略了保險計劃的保障範圍與保額,假如發生的旅遊事故不幸地並不在保險保障範圍內,將會招致到不必要的額外開支。因此,出外旅遊始終要因應旅遊目的地及行程所需,而購買全面及合適的旅遊保障 。

在選擇相應的旅遊保險時,首選應該是提供24小時緊急支援服務的旅遊保險,可惜市面上很多保費僅逾10元的旅遊保險均不提供這種服務,24小時緊急支援服務可以為受保人安排緊急醫療運送,確保受保人得到適當的治療、安排親友前往當地探訪和在治療後送返現居地,保障範圍甚至包括法律支援和旅遊資料查詢等,毫無疑問是最實用的服務。

此外,亦需考慮旅遊保險的保額,特別是醫療保障一項的保額,鑑於港人入住外國醫院將被徵收非本地居民收費,費用自然較高昂,若入住歐美等地的醫院,醫療費用在計算匯率後動輒過百萬港元。因此購買旅遊保險前,先了解當地的醫療費用,再選擇具充足保額的旅遊保險,自然安心出門開心旅遊。
