AIST does not sell insurance.
AIST recommends that all travelers purchase a travel protection plan to help protect themselves and their trip investment. Travel protection plans can provide coverage for trip cancellation, trip interruption, emergency medical expenses and emergency evacuation/repatriation, trip delay, baggage delay, and more. With sports, you are subject to injury which could force you to cancel your tour. Having travel insurance is one way to protect your investment.
AIST has a very strict cancellation policy and refunds are difficult to come by. We do the best we can to help but we encourage you to look into purchasing travel insurance.
AIST does not sell insurance and is no way affiliated with any insurance claims. Claims will need to be made directly with the company you purchase the insurance through.
