Coined the Peace of Mind™ Cancellation Protection program, consumers can now recoup expenses when the need for a cancellation arises.
While HotelPlusPortal.com customers already save an average of 32% on multiple night stays and now they can opt to protect their investment with either Peace of Mind™ Cancellation Protection or having partnered with Travelex Insurance can be assured they will have no costly bumps in their vacation’s road.

Having provided his customers with every reason to book a trip through HotelPlusPortal.com and their affiliated sites, adds three essential points and travel tips to consider when planning.
Top 3 points to ponder when considering the importance Travel Peace of Mind.
1. European travelers are 27% more likely to purchase travel insurance (even when travel-ling locally) than Americans.
2. Many travelers mistakenly believe that their health insurance plan or the U.S. government will provide assistance in the event of a medical emergency. This can be a very expensive mistake, as these organizations may only provide the most basic medical referrals, and they may not pay for the expenses associated with a medical emergency, which can easily approach $100,000 for a serious medical problem. In fact, the U.S. State Department’s web site flatly states, “payment of hospital and other expenses is the patient’s responsibility.” Only travel insurance provides a comprehensive solution for handling travel medical emergencies.
3. According to "Rx for Travel Health," a national travel survey of 1,000 men and women, 63 percent of travelers reported that they or a travel companion have gotten sick while on vacation, and spend more than $1,200 per trip.
