The Atlas Group Travel Series now automatically includes many new benefits, services and features that make it the best option for student groups, missionary organizations and corporations who travel internationally.  At no additional cost, the Atlas Group Travel Series now adds coverage for Acts of Terrorism, Complications of Pregnancy and Incidental Trips home to the industry’s leading travel medical insurance plan. State of the art travel and emergency medical assistance services are part of every Atlas Group Travel Series plan. All of this with the same astonishing service you have come to expect from our Underwriters and Plan Administrators, the leader in international travel medical insurance.

Why Buy Travel Insurance?
The answer is easy. Whether your group is traveling for business or pleasure, international travel involves risk. You may arrive at your destination to find that a member of your group’s luggage with personal items has disappeared. A personal emergency may necessitate early return home for a member of your group. A medical emergency may require hospitalization or even air evacuation. In most cases, your existing insurance will not provide adequate protection for these and other risks. Without appropriate travel insurance, members of your group may be exposed to significant financial liability. The Atlas Group Travel Series were specially designed to take the risks out of international travel, so your group can have an enjoyable and productive trip.
