Travelers Keep Heading South Despite the Recession

The economy may be the hottest topic in the news these days, but for the time being, the recession does not seem to have put a damper on the travel industry. According to many travel agencies, winter travelers seeking fun in the sun continue to book travel arrangements. The top destinations once again this year are Mexico‘s Mayan Riviera, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Some experts feel that the effect of the recession may only be felt later this fall, during the height of the European travel season, but for the moment, the market is doing well. Many sales and package deals are available for price-savvy travelers to take advantage of.

Anyone thinking of travelling should also keep travel insurance in mind – provincial healthcare plans cover only a small portion of medical expenses incurred outside the province of residence, so travelers are strongly advised to purchase private travel insurance to guard against unexpected medical costs. Whether travelers are looking for a daily plan or an annual plan, for singles or for families, London Drugs Insurance can offer you the proper travel insurance coverage at competitive rates.
