With Corona Virus fears, you may not feel comfortable booking travel right now. That is understandable but it is important to know that there are things that you can do to protect yourself and your vacation investment.

If you are still interested in traveling because there is so much to do and see in the world and there is only some much time on this earth to get it done, consider your options and risks prior to booking.

First, know that all travel involves some amount of risk. There is always the possibility of something unexpected that could happen on your vacation but then again, unexpected things happen at home too.

Second, consider your overall level of health. This means to factor in if you are generally healthy and free from pre-existing conditions that could be aggravated by a virus.

Third, consider the peace of mind that you may get with a cancel for any reason or similar travel protection policy. It is true, that many travel protection companies exclude pandemic outbreaks, but many policies do have a cancel for any reason coverage. That means that you would loose the cost of your travel protection, but the rest of your trip would be refunded if you should choose not to go. This kind of coverage could allow you to take advantage of some great travel values that are sure to be out there, allow you to go ahead and plan your next vacation, while at the same time provide protection if things change. We think this is a win-win situation.

Fourth, be on the look out for evolving policies by travel suppliers that are adding more flexibility to their deposit and final cancellation dates in an effort to be more flexible with customers who still want to travel but are hesitant to book because of uncertainty.

Fifth, stay up to date with the CDC which is the official source for information regarding the corona virus.
