RBC Insurance wants Couples to say 'I DO' to Travel Insurance
Destination weddings and honeymoons are a growing specialized market in the travel industry. About 16% of all couples are choosing to have a destination wedding - a 400% increase in the last 10 years. Travel insurance may not be an exciting detail for couples planning these special events, but it can be the most important element in terms of making sure they are prepared for the unexpected.
" Industry estimates show that couples who opt for destination weddings spend an average of $25,806 with 63 guests attending and since many travel and pre-paid wedding arrangements are often non-refundable, it's important that couples protect their investment," said Stan Seggie, president & CEO of travel insurance division of RBC insurance. "Cancellation and interruption insurance covers your client's investment in case they need to cancel or come home early due to situations such as the emergency medical condition of an immediate family member."
Since government health plans typically only cover a portion of out-of -country medical costs - which can be very expensive - this is an important part of travel insurance.
Travellers covered by RBC Insurance travel insurance who become injured or sick while travelling can access its medical emergency assistance team from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. RBC Insurance customers also benefit from access to MEDIRECT network providers, including top tier hospitals, doctors and other medical service providers as well as PAY-ASSIST, which coordinates up front payment of covered medical services.
RBC travel insurance packages include protection for loss or damage to baggage and personal effects. Insurance protection for rental vehicles can also be purchased on stand alone basis.
" A Destination Wedding or Honeymoon is a once in a lifetime event for most couples and should be a memorable experience. They'll spend a larger than usual amount, so it's important to be covered for unexpected problems," added Saggie. "Travel insurance can help make sure the unexpected - anything from illness to a missed connection - doesn't ruin the entire trip."

"RBC Travel Insurance can be purchased through Romantic Planet Vacations Inc."

AIR CANADA TO FLY MONTREAL TO ROME
The departure today of Air Canada flight AC 892 marks the launch of non-stop seasonal summer service between Montreal and Rome. The carrier will operate daily non-stop flights linking Canada's second largest city, and its extensive Quebec and Atlantic Canada network with the Italian capital. Air Canada offers connecting flights via Rome to popular destinations in Italy operated by Air One, a Lufthansa partner airline.

"The reintroduction of non-stop Air Canada flights between Montreal and Rome is great news for Montrealers and consumers in eastern Canada who will benefit from substantial time savings during the peak travel season to Italy," said Daniel Shurz, Vice President, Network Planning. "We look forward to offering this additional non-stop service to Europe from Montreal, which complements our year-round Toronto-Rome non-stop flights. Rome is our fifth European destination with non-stop service from Montreal, joining London, Paris, Frankfurt and Munich."
"This new direct itinerary, without connections, will certainly be well appreciated by the business communities in Quebec and Italy. The increase of economic, commercial and cultural exchanges between both territories is certainly one of the major reasons why Air Canada took this strategic decision. This is excellent news for both Quebec and Italy," confirms Mr. Emanuele Triassi, chairman of the Board of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada.
"This daily flight to Rome is a major addition to our air services at Montréal-Trudeau," said Aéroports de Montréal President and Chief Executive Officer James C. Cherry. "Let's hope the Montréal community will enthusiastically embrace this new direct, non-stop service."
Air Canada's Montreal-Rome non-stop service will be operated using 207-seat Boeing 767-200 ER aircraft. With an eastbound flight time of eight hours, travellers will save more than two hours off alternate routings via Toronto or Frankfurt.
Montreal - Rome AC892 17:40 07:40 (+1)
Rome - Montreal AC893 09:10 12:05

Montréal-based Air Canada provides scheduled and charter air transportation for passengers and cargo to more than 170 destinations on five continents. Canada's flag carrier is the 14th largest commercial airline in the world and serves more than 32 million customers annually. Air Canada is a founding member of Star Alliance providing the world's most comprehensive air transportation network.
