Medical facilities across China are often unable to provide the full range of medical services that are available in developed countries, making evacuation a requirement in many non-life threatening medical situations. The costs of evacuation as well as international standard care are extremely high. In the most serious emergencies, travelers may not be capable of authorizing payment for an appropriate medical response that is urgently required. This may delay or prevent the provision of critical and possibly life-saving medical attention.

It is a condition of travel on our journeys that all travelers are adequately covered by travel insurance prior to arrival. Insurance should cover personal accident and medical expenses, evacuation and repatriation, baggage loss, and cancellation or curtailment of holiday. Your insurance details must be supplied to us at the time of booking. If you fail to provide the requested insurance information, we reserve the right, acting in our sole discretion, to cancel bookings and apply charges as per our cancellation policy. Travelers will be asked to provide their insurance details upon arrival in China as part of the registration process, and in the event that possession of an appropriate insurance policy is unable to be confirmed, in the interests of the traveler and fellow travelers, CIAC Travel reserves the right, acting in its sole discretion, to prohibit participation in the journey. In such instances, we will use our reasonable efforts to assist with onward travel arrangements for the relevant traveler, however full Cancellation Fees will apply.

Note that travel insurance ‘attached’ to credit cards is often limited in scope (eg. not covering serious medical, repatriation or evacuation expenses) and in any case is usually effective only if travel arrangements have been purchased with the card. Please note also that government regulations in China do not always require or enforce the possession of liability insurance by hotels, transport and other suppliers. Even when insurance is in place, it can be for very limited coverage only.
