Don't Let Job Insecurity Halt Vacation Plans

Job loss coverage, lower fuel costs, stronger dollar and abundant travel deals make now a great time to travel. The economic and unemployment outlook may be bleak, but there's no reason to settle for a "staycation". CSA Travel Protection (CSA), a company dedicated to providing value-driven travel insurance and emergency assistance services, reminds vacationers that travel insurance can protect trip plans cancelled or delayed due to job loss.


CSA and other travel insurance companies offer policies that include a Job Loss* benefit that covers costs associated with delaying or cancelling a trip because a traveler's job is involuntarily suspended. With the November U.S. unemployment rate at 6.7 percent (Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor), thousands of Americans are faced with this uncertainty each month.

"Americans today are reading bad news after bad news, and they need a diversion," said Les Maine, CSA's president. "Travel deals and lower travel costs, combined with the security of travel insurance, make this a great time to get away or plan your summer trip."

While the economy and job market are shaky, there are many reasons to plan a trip. Fuel costs are at their lowest since spring of 2004 (AAA), the U.S. dollar is gaining strength against other currencies and carriers are offering travel deals both abroad and at home. In fact, the cruise industry is offering what many travel professionals are describing as the best bargains available in years.

Consumers can learn more about travel deals available today by contacting their travel agent or other travel professional. To find out more about travel insurance and the Job Loss benefit, travelers can call 800-348-9505 or visit http://www.csatravelprotection.com/
