Affordable Trip Cancellation and Travel Medical Insurance Packages to Olympic Enthusiasts Traveling to Beijing, China for the 2008 Summer Games

We at Sunburst International Risk Management (www.InternationalRiskManagement.com ) and Sunburst Worldwide Insurance Services (www.WorldwideMedicalPlans.com) are pleased to introduce a comprehensive travel insurance package that is especially designed for the more than 500,000 expected attendees of the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing.

Starting at $1.50 per day, our travel protection policy protects leisure and business travelers against potential problems unique to the upcoming Games in China such as natural disasters, terrorism activity, disease outbreaks, medical emergencies and legal issues.

Travelers can upgrade this package with options such as trip disruption or cancellation that protects an Olympic fan's investment in this exciting event which can cost $4,000-$20,000 (not including airfare).

The U.S. Department of State and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention have issued various travel warnings and health alerts for individuals attending the 2008 Games.

However, for as little as $1.50 per day, our travel medical insurance policy protects travelers against the cost of medical evacuations (which can cost over $100,000), hospitalizations, surgeries, ambulance transportation, doctor and dentist visits and prescriptions.

Our international network providers include direct contracts with many hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai as well as a vast network of physicians and pharmacies.

Not including airfare, Olympic enthusiasts are spending between $4,000-$20,000 for hotel, food, transportation, Olympic tickets and other event-related activities. However, by purchasing trip cancellation insurance, travelers can protect themselves from the exorbitant cost and inconvenience of lost event tickets, flight delays and cancellations, airline bankruptcies and lost luggage.

To protect U.S. citizens from a host of legal issues while traveling abroad, our Olympic travel insurance package also includes coverage for legal expenses such as bail bonds, legal assistance and representation, and repatriation.

Our policy holders have access to 24-hour multilingual assistance; pre-trip information on Olympic-specific regulations, health care, political and cultural issues; and connections to international legal and health care resources.

Another Airline Casualty: Aloha Airline
By JoAnne Green
March 31, 2008

Seeing a decal of a bird of paradise flower on Aloha Airline’s tail often brought me good memories of good old days of inter-island hoping during the early 1980s. We, a bunch of young working college people in Oahu, would get in line in front of the Aloha Airline counter to get our tickets to either Maui or Big Island for a 3-day holiday weekend. We each paid about $US45.00 round trip to Maui and $US65.00 to Big Island. Of course, we often selected the least busy time of the day to get such low prices. No advanced reservations needed. We benefited from fierce competition between Aloha Air and Hawaiian Air in those days.

On April 1, 2008, Aloha Airline will cease its operation completely after a long financial struggle since 2004. There are no longer any working online reservations through Aloha Airlines.

Travelers who have booked tickets for future trips can contact either United Airlines or Hawaiian Airlines to rebook their tickets. Neither United Airlines or Hawaiian Airlines promise to honor all Aloha’s tickets.

Aloha!!!
