🌍 Sustainable Travel Tip #3: Be mindful of wildlife 🐘🐒

Whether you're dreaming of swimming with pigs in the Bahamas or hoping to spot monkeys in Bali, it’s important to enjoy wildlife responsibly.

That means keeping a safe distance, following guidance from local experts, and supporting ethical experiences that protect – not exploit – animals.

🐾 “Observing animals in their natural habitat is an exciting way to learn more about the animal kingdom and Mother Nature... without causing harm.”
– Pankaj R., Cover-More employee

Sustainable travel tip:
Visiting Thailand? Skip the elephant rides and visit a conservation centre instead. You’ll support the species, witness elephants in a more natural setting, and contribute to ethical animal tourism.

😷 Real travel insurance Claim #4: A bout of influenza leads to a hospital stay in Chile

💰 Total travel claim pay-out: ~$77,000

It’s easy to brush off the flu… until it lands you in the ICU.
One of our travellers fell seriously ill while visiting Chile and ended up on life support in intensive care. After more than a week in hospital, doctors finally cleared them to fly home safely.

It was an incredibly scary and unexpected turn. But they had one less thing to worry about — the cost. Their Cover-More policy covered the overseas medical bills and additional expenses, so they could focus on recovery, not the receipts.

🌍 Sustainable Travel Tip #2: Support Local Businesses

Choosing to shop, stay, eat, and explore local is one of the simplest – and most rewarding – ways to travel responsibly.

When you support small, locally owned businesses, more of your travel dollars stay within the community. It helps preserve culture, strengthen the local economy, and often leads to a more authentic and personal experience.

As Taryn B. from the Cover-More team shares:
🗨️ “Whenever I visit a new destination, I make sure to check out local craft and street food markets. It’s a great way to support local businesses while getting to know a new destination too.”

💡 Local Tip:
Heading to Madrid? Don’t miss El Rastro – the city’s iconic flea market. Every item you purchase there helps support local artisans and tells a story worth taking home.

🌍 10 ways to make your travels more sustainable
Let’s kick things off with one of the easiest ways to lower your carbon footprint: transport.

🚆 1. Choose eco-friendly transport options
Not all travel needs to involve cars or planes. When possible, opt for walking, biking, or public transport to explore your destination. Trains and electric vehicles are also great low-emission alternatives for longer distances.

Cover-More team member Cherie H. shares her personal experience:

“So much online advice says you need a car to see Italy – but I’ve visited six times without hiring one. I’ve explored the north, centre and south of Italy using only trains, buses and ferries. On rare occasions, I’ve used a cab or ride share app. It’s been cheaper and far more sustainable than renting a car for the entire trip.”

🌱 Pro tip: In cities like Amsterdam, electric vehicles are a great option if cycling isn’t your thing. With an extensive charging network and a goal to go carbon neutral, it’s the perfect destination to explore sustainably — while still soaking up every bit of culture and charm.

This is just the first tip in our sustainable travel series — stay tuned for more ways to tread lightly and travel smart. ✈️
