This one step ensures that you are in the pink of health, physically as well as fiscally, all through your journey.
But at an age when the walking stick is your best companion, who will help guard you from health and travel perils while jet-setting?
We will, says ICICI Lombard General Insurance, which last month launched a overseas travel cover for senior citizens aged between 71 and 85 years under its Globetrotter Overseas Travel Insurance scheme.
Currently, the company claims, no private player is offering such a cover for senior citizens.
The new policy will benefit about one lakh senior citizens travelling abroad every year to meet their dear ones, the company expects.
The number of the grey-haired travelling abroad is increasing every year as many youngsters are flying abroad to study and work. Aged parents often fly out to meet their children and return after a brief stay abroad.
The improvement in healthcare standards and the subsequent increase in life expectancy are adding to the number of travellers, said ICICI Lombard
