Canadians Travelling within Canada is on the Rise

According to Statistics Canada, 90% of travel in the summer of 2024 was domestic*. With more and more Canadians continuing to favour local travel, it’s essential to highlight the importance of having travel insurance, even within Canada.

Unexpected medical emergencies can result in costly bills when travelling between provinces. Comprehensive private travel insurance provides the full coverage your clients need to explore Canada with confidence.

A Medavie Blue Cross travel insurance plan provides comprehensive coverage for expenses not covered by provincial health plan, including:

  • Emergency dental care
  • Prescription drugs
  • Ambulance fees
  • Specialized consultations

In addition to medical coverage, our plans offer essential benefits designed to meet your clients’ needs, including trip cancellation, baggage insurance, and 24/7 travel assistance.
