Make Sure You're Prepared for the Journey Ahead!

It's always a good plan to be ready for your new adventure ahead!

I always love to book your dream vacations. While I can manage all of your travel plans to a T, your actual experiences are not always plannable. Luckily, there are some great travel apps to help with just about any aspect of your trip. Check out these top travel apps to add to your packing lists.

An App for: Speaking the Language

For your clients traveling to foreign countries, be sure they are prepared with an app that helps them speak the common language. Google Translate is a lifesaver for any mono-linguist traveler. Translate from 103 different languages just by typing or drawing the word or phrase. Use your phone’s camera to hold up to street signs or even restaurant menus for instant translations. The best part is that the app works without using a wireless connection so your clients can explore data-free. Navigate with confidence and even learn a thing or two about the native tongue.

An App for: Maps & Directions

Don’t let your clients leave home without a solid navigation app for exploring. Apps like Maps.Me or City Mapper offer downloadable maps with turn-by-turn navigation, traffic updates and can even pinpoint local hotspots to check out. Explore points of interest from restaurants to tourist attractions, all with step-by-step directions. Even create driving, walking and cycle routes to save extra time, or just to take in the scenery.

An App for: Packing

Ensure your clients never forget a thing for their next trip. With apps like PackPoint, they can type in the destination and select the activities planned to create a customized packing list for the trip. It will even check the weather to make sure your clients are packing all the essentials. They can also share the list with their fellow travelers so nothing is ever left behind.

An App for: Chatting

Make sure your clients can always stay in touch with friends and family. WhatsApp provides free voice calls and messaging when they are connected to Wi-Fi. The group chat feature also allows your clients to share messages, photos and videos to share their experiences.

An App for: Time Zones

Your clients will never lose track of time again. With an app like Circa, travelling to multiple locations across different time zones has never been easier; find the best times for connecting flights and send invitations to other travelers in different time zones to meet up. Now your clients will never miss a beat no matter how far apart they are.

What Are Travel Protection and Travel Insurance?

According to the US Travel Insurance Association, more than 152 million Americans were covered by travel protection in 2020. They spent more than $2.2 billion. Insurance policies that include trip cancellation and interruption benefits account for more than 85 percent of the travel protection products purchased. Travel and medical evacuation products account for 7 percent of the policies sold. Travel suppliers — travel agencies, cruise lines, and tour operators — account for more than half of all travel insurance policies sold.

Do I Need Travel Insurance or Trip Protection

Travel insurance is an actual insurance product underwritten by large insurance companies and regulated by state insurance agencies. But trip protection plans were much riskier propositions and could be full of exclusions. A trip protection plan might only cover a portion of the trip and not reimburse you for a cancellation but instead issue you a credit for future travel.

Travel Protection

Travel protection comprises insurance coverage and assistance services that safeguard the consumer before, during, and after the trip. Although many travelers prefer not to think about such things, the truth of the matter is that accidents, emergencies, and unforeseen circumstances can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone. And they do. Having travel insurance can give you peace of mind by protecting your investment, health, and belongings. Travel insurance can protect your health and well-being, and can save you considerable extra expense should anything go awry before, during, or after their trip.

Travel Insurance

In general, travel insurance can

• Protect you’re your travel investment if something goes wrong due to illness, weather or other unforeseen circumstances

• Provide 24-hour emergency medical referral and assistance during travel (including medical evacuation)

• Reimburse unexpected travel expenses that you may incur due to an emergency

• Protect you during a medical emergency

• Provide medical assistance for you abroad
