Attack on American Olympic Tourists an Unfortunate Reminder of Need for Evacuation Coverage

Attacks on US tourists in China are rare, but the murder of an Olympic tourist in Beijing on the first day of competition must have tourists questioning what they would do in the event of an emergency. The travelers Air Ambulance Card transports home to US hospitals are overwhelmingly hospitalized as a result common accidents or illness.

Ask yourself, in Beijing or Berlin, would you rather be treated in a hospital overseas, or fly home to the doctors and hospital you know and trust near family and friends who can be at your bedside? Air Ambulance Card will fly you home to the US or Canadian hospital of your choice if you are hospitalized 150 miles or more from home, domestically or internationally.

Certainly, we don't anticipate more attacks on tourists in Beijing over the next 15 days, we'll be praying it won't happen. But we do anticipate someone will get sick, or in an accident.

We hope all travelers will take a few minutes before their next event to buy a bit of protection and enroll online, whether they've left the US yet or not. It's a small price to pay for huge peace of mind.
