It’s that time of the year when people go on week-long holidays.

Maybe it’s time to fly to Japan, Thailand, or even Taiwan.

But travel season comes with its own set of risks.

While these destinations sound like the perfect getaway, they’ve also been among the places hit by deadly natural disasters this year.

So what happens if a natural disaster strikes while you’re on holiday? Does your travel insurance cover it?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Sarah Koh, Journalist, The Straits Times to discuss what travel insurance actually covers, what to look out for in policies, and why it’s more important than ever to prepare for the unexpected when you travel.
