Although there are plenty of good health facilities it is always good to have a backup plan for an emergency evacuation, should the occasion arise. A good travel insurance policy will do this for you.

Vibrant colours, steamy jungles and the aroma of fragrant spices other things that catalyse tourists year after year. Indonesia has it all, from beautiful beaches to spectacular mountains, from the humblest village dwelling to the best five-star hotels every tourist is catered for with ease.

Let’s see how Indonesia can satisfy your tourist urges.

• Lombok. The big waves of the Gili Islands attracted surfers from around the world. You can base yourself at Matram the local capital and make your way out to the big breaks every day. Of course this is the only beach you can visit there are literally dozens scattered along the coastline.
• Sulawesi. This strange ‘’H’’ shaped island is as beautiful as its shape is strange with a huge cultural diversity and a mysterious reputation as the home of ancient pirates. Active volcanoes provide an eerie backdrop to the Emerald green rice paddies that surround them and the proud locals live their lives as if nothing has changed. If you are lucky enough you may be able to witness a funeral ceremony which is so elaborate you will find it hard to believe.
• Kalimantan. Although this region occupies over two thirds of Borneo, it is the least visited area in Indonesia. Unfortunately, its rich thick forests are disappearing as quickly as the foresters’ chainsaws can buzz, although recent attempts at arresting this process are having some success. Tourists will be able to enjoy the natural beauty of the forests and mountains and will even be able to partake of a home stay experience by living with a village family for a number of days. Always make sure that your holiday insurance policy will cover you if you decide on a home stay.
• Bali. Despite the trouble experienced a few years ago following a terrorist attack in which several hundred tourists were killed, Bali is bouncing back and is fast becoming, yet again, one of Indonesia’s most popular destinations. Tourists can enjoy fantastic relaxing beaches whilst at night the nightclubs and restaurants are bulging with tourists.
• Java. This is the main island of Indonesia and although does not have the natural beauty you will find in many other places in Indonesia, the population ensures that it is the heart and soul of the country.

Over one third of Indonesia’s 17,000 islands remains uninhabited, so there remains plenty of options for tourists to explore at their leisure and maybe discover hidden delights that your fellow travellers have never seen before.

• A cancellation of your holiday because you or a close family member become ill or are injured
• An illness or an injury that you experience during your travel.
• The loss of your luggage or other personal items such as a handbag, wallet, laptop, or camera.
• Legal coverage in case you need it for an incident such as an altercation with another tourist.

You can get a standard Australian travel insurance policy, which normally will offer several options so that you can tailor it to suit your needs. A standard policy is usually good for one return trip only. You can also purchase Australian annual multi-trip insurance, which normally does not limit how many separate trips you can take during a year. If you are planning to participate in certain sports or other activities as an amateur, you can often add this to your policy so that will protect you and cover you for the medical expenses that arise from an accident while taking part in one of them.

Low cost travel insurance is something that almost every well-informed traveller is in search of when starting to plan a holiday. Luckily, it is readily available in Australia. Some people think that because these travel policies are cheaper, they are not as good as the types of travel insurance that costs more. Nothing could be further from the true in most cases! The best way to find out both what is and what is not covered by a certain policy is to study the Product Disclosure statement that is a part of the policy.

This statement is a document that is quite important in the total scheme of your travel insurance queries. It will give you all the pertinent details that are part and parcel of a travel insurance policy. This information will help you to decide whether the policy in question is one that is suited to your needs. You may need to look over more than one policy before making a final decision. Luckily, purchasing travel insurance can be done online, and this fact makes it a lot easier for most people. You can comparison shop to your heart’s content, at any time of the day or night, right from the comfort of your own home.

Do not get caught away from home without travel insurance. Australians are used to their Medicare, but once you leave the country, this coverage is rarely available. What would you do if you were to have an accident and/or fall ill while travelling outside of Australia? Would you be able to pay the medical bills that would mount up very quickly? Give the matter some thought, and you will conclude that it would be quite foolhardy to travel anywhere without a good travel insurance policy.
