Insurance
Travel Agency Liability Insurance provides compensation for personal injury, death, property loss of tourists and relevant expenses arising therefrom, when such losses are caused by the liability of the travel agency. For tourists, in the event of an accident, this liability insurance primarily covers various civil liabilities that the travel agency shall bear by law during the trip, as determined by a court or relevant arbitration authority.This means the Agency does not assume all liabilities once an accident occurs; we shall only be liable for its own culpable acts. Any incident resulting from the tourist’s own conduct or third‑party causes shall be the tourist’s sole responsibility. The Agency may only offer moral assistance in such circumstances. For more comprehensive protection, we strongly recommend tourists to purchase personal insurance policies according to their personal preferences and needs before travel.
