2.1 TRAVEL INSURANCE:
Travel insurance for all Women Gone Wild retreats is mandatory, whether you are traveling overseas or based in the country. It is vital that travel insurance covers participants for the location and dates of the retreat and includes medical coverage and natural disaster coverage. Women Gone Wild provides Empowerment and Adventure based experiences and retreats, therefore insurance is a must to protect you for any loss, injuries, medical conditions, damages and even death that may arise during your participation in a retreat. Women Gone Wild will not be held liable in any way should you experience any of these situations during a retreat or travelling to or from a retreat. Women Gone Wild also highly recommends that you add ‘Cancel for Any Reason’ to your policy to receive financial compensation for any reason. For example, this type of insurance will cover you if something comes up such as a family emergency, a new job opportunity, or if Women Gone Wild has to cancel due to weather, staff injury, staff illness or other unforeseen reasons. Although normal trip cancellation will generally cover you for illness or injury, or for a travel companion’s illness, injury or death, it is limited to these.
