I've just learned that the GV Department recently cancelled their trip cancellation policy. It had been in place less that two years, but they didn't feel they were getting very good return for the costs. The policy that is taking its place is MEDEX Secure policy, providing emergency evacuation insurance in the case of serious political unrest. This covers all participants traveling outside the United States on trips departing on or after July 1, 2010.
For all other reasons for needing to cancel, they are suggesting that you purchase refundable airline tickets and/or trip cancellation insurance on your own. Refundable tickets are usually more expensive, so not doing so is surely your own choice, as is buying trip cancellation insurance.
The travel medical insurance coverage policy, which is still explained on our website, will remain the same.
