Malta Holiday Thoughts – How to Choose a Good Travel Insurance Policy

It doesn’t matter if you are travelling to Tenerife for its beautiful beaches, interesting historical attractions, strange ruins, vast array of sports, educational museums, and delectable cuisine. That’s because you can have them all if you decide to spend your low cost holidays to Malta. Malta, living up to its name, is the tourism and economic centre of the region. Millions of tourists visit Malta every year to experience its sights, wonders, culture, and events.

When visiting another place, you would want to leave all worries behind so you could truly spend an enjoyable getaway. You can do this by having the right travel insurance policy. But the keyword here is “right.” How exactly do can you find a policy that is adequate for your needs?

Step 1: List down all items that must be covered in your travel plan. For example, if you are planning to a mountain in Malta, you may want to include accident insurance in case you fall down during your climb. If you can’t live without your laptop or smart phone, you might want to get a policy that also covers your gadgets. If you are suffering from asthma, you might want to take medical coverage so you are assured of securing the necessary medication during your travel.

Step 2: Assess your present insurance coverage. Your current insurance policy may include riders that include travel coverage. Or you can start with a government issued health card. If either organization does not provide travel insurance, inquire with your travel agency on where you can get one. They will point you out to a reliable insurance policy provider.

Step 3: You can also ask recommendations from family members, friends, and colleagues who have travelled to another country on where you can get a comprehensive policy from a reputable insurance company. If you can’t find one, visit a travel advisory or forum and ask for recommendations. Once you get a list of providers, find out more information about them. Are they good providers? Do they keep their word? Do they have vast experience in the travel insurance business?

Step 4: Meet with the representatives of your candidate insurers and ask them critical questions. What situations are covered? How much do they charge for the standard insurance and riders? Do they reimburse your expenses? What situations are not covered in your policy? Which hospital will they bring you to in case you incur an illness or injury? What happens if evacuation is required? The more detailed your questions, the more information you can get to help you make an informed decision.

Whether you are planning to have relaxing cheap holidays to Lanzarote in October (or anywhere else for that matter) or an extreme adventure somewhere else in the world, it is definitely advisable to provide yourself adequate coverage.

My Special and Fun Tour in Malta

My mate has invited me to go with her to Malta. I was so happy and so excited. She said we will show up at the Mnarja festival. This feast is also called L-Imnarja to give thanks to Saints Peter and Paul. This feast is a national festival of Malta and it is celebrated every June 29. I leaped for joy with happiness in my heart. I was filled with excitement! We started searching the web for cheap holidays to Malta.

We prepared the documents that are needed, ensuring that they are updated. We also visited our family doctor for the necessary shots needed for the journey. Our bags were all packed and ready for our trip. We checked that our cameras were packed and additional batteries were bought. Our families gave us their blessings and told us to enjoy the trip.

Family members and friends escorted us to the airport during the departure day. We took a lot of pictures to immortalize the moment. It was also our first time to ride an aircraft, and my best friend and I were understandably thrilled. We were so glad because my best friend’s uncle and his household were there to welcome us at the airport. They chatted and told us about the activities and destinations that they’re planning for us. Both of us were bombarded with excitement as we took pictures of the scenery. I especially love the architecture of the fine old buildings.

In Malta, the roadways were filled with activity and life. And the streets were so lively and busy. In every place we visited, a member of the uncle’s family imparted information about the place. About the Mnarja festival itself, we learned that it was a festival that is filled with prayers, meals, and music. And this feast was one of the most essential festival in the Maltese culture. L-Imnarja, the other name of the feast, was a Roman Luninaria banquet. The word means “illumination” in English. The festivity started with the reading of the “bandu.” The “bandu” was an official communication from the government. This tradition has been done since the 16th century. At night, we had the chance to witness a torchlight procession. The flickering lights gave a new point of view to the people around us. It added magic and beauty to the parade. We were in amazement of the many people who participated in the event. And the lights they carried appeared like fireflies in the night.

My best friend’s family offered us the best gastronomic experience. They bought and cooked a lot of varieties of food. Some were rather familiar while others are absolutely exotic. But, we tasted all of them so as not to give offense to our hosts. To our enjoyment all the food that we tasted were all yummy. We were also toured to some of the most note-worthy places to see in Malta. We visited St John’s Co-Cathedral and prayed there. We saw the ornate interiors of the church and its stunning marble floor. We learned that the Order of the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem worshiped there. We also paid our dues to view the museum. The beautiful artwork were a sight to behold. For more details about this beautiful place, view website of Malta.
