Traveling to Italy and the need for proper travel medical insurance

The dream vacation for almost everyone, Italy is a must see. Whether it is for its art, cuisine, music, architecture, culture, religion or its many sacred sites, Italy has had a huge impact on western history and civilization. Italy attracts close to 50 million tourists annually, which is not surprising when you consider what the country has to offer. Rome remains the largest attraction, where historic relics like the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Forum, the Appian Way, and the Palatine Hill compete alongside the attractions of the Vatican. Beyond Rome there is Venice with its canals and gondoliers, Florence the center of Italian Renaissance, Pisa for the leaning tower, Milan for its fashion, Verona made famous thanks to Romeo and Juliet and not to overlook Lake Como, the many rustic charming villages and the amazing scenery all around.

Traveling in Italy is wonderful, but make sure that you have good travel medical insurance. American tourists should note that US domestic health insurance including Medicare offers little insurance coverage in Europe. It is important for international tourists to buy travel medical insurance to help them in the event of an unforeseen medical emergency. At American Visitor Insurance we offer popular international travel insurance plans designed by known US insurance providers. The tools that we have developed on our website helps tourists compare different insurance plans based on price as well as benefits offered. The Frequently asked questions sections brings transparency and explains different facets of the insurance coverage. These tools help customers make an informed objective decision while buying international travel insurance.
