Indianapolis, IN (1888PressRelease)
September 03, 2008 - Seven Corners, one of the industry’s most experienced travel insurance providers, urges individuals planning a Caribbean vacation to safeguard themselves against potential weather-related disruptions that could cut their trips short. Travel insurance allows flexibility in arrangements and protection of the financial investment if a vacation is interrupted.
The Climate Prediction Center recently announced it has increased the severity of its prediction for a strong hurricane season over its earlier forecast issued in May. While experts may say unstable weather for several popular vacation destinations could be likely through November 30, individuals can still plan successful trips by taking proper precautions.
“Traveling during off-seasons may seem risky, especially as the Gulf of Mexico recently experienced the effects of Hurricane Gustav and the southern U.S. coastline braces itself for Hanna,” says Jim Krampen, principal and executive officer of Seven Corners. The industry-leading, Indiana-based firm offers both domestic and international travelers a comprehensive package of benefits that protect them from unpredictable events, including severe weather, which may interrupt their vacations.
“It might be hurricane season in the Caribbean, but travel insurance means you don’t have to put off a much-needed vacation,” said Krampen. “In fact, it may be the perfect time to travel as many resorts offer significant discounts during their traditionally slow tourism periods.”
Seven Corners’ travel insurance programs are available for a minimal fee and empower vacationers to plan a trip, any time of year to any destination, without worry. Highlights of Seven Corners’ RoundTrip© programs include:
