Tourism: Travelers to Europe Advised To Purchase Global Travel Insurance

Europe is apparently targeting visitors from abroad who do not have adequate insurance while traveling. Several United States and Canadian citizens have reported that some EU countries are refusing entry if proof of medical insurance is not provided. Most US and Canadian health insurance policies will not cover your medical expenses when you are outside your country of residence, unless special provisions are taken.

It could therefore be advantageous for US and Canadian travelers who are visiting Europe to carry temporary travel insurance to cover possible unforseen calamities that may require accident, life and health insurance coverage. Travelers to Europe would be well advised to check with local insurance companies if their present insurance policy includes global travel coverage.
