\n TORONTO<\/span>
\n <\/span>, June 25, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/CNW\/ – As Canadian travel is trending this summer, new data from\u00a0Manulife, Canada’s<\/span> largest travel insurance provider, shows Canadians may be unaware of the need for travel insurance for trips within the country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

While domestic travel intentions are soaring, Manulife’s ‘Travel within Canada<\/span>‘ products represent only approximately 10 per cent of travel insurance sales. According to a recent Leger survey, 77 per cent of travellers plan to stay within Canada<\/span>i<\/sup>\u00a0for their vacations. While Canada<\/span> has universal public health care, coverage varies by province. If you are travelling outside of your home province or territory and you don’t have supplemental travel insurance and are faced with a medical emergency, the costs may not be covered, including certain medical expenses, and ambulance services.<\/p>\n

“As Canadians explore our own backyard, it’s important to make travel insurance part of trip planning,” says Pamela Wong<\/span>, Head of Travel Insurance and General Manager, Affinity at Manulife Canada. “Many people assume they are covered everywhere in Canada<\/span>, but there are limitations. Travel insurance covers unexpected costs, ensuring you can focus solely on enjoying experiences and making core memories.”<\/p>\n

Manulife Canada is offering the following\u00a0tips as Canadians plan their upcoming trips:<\/p>\n
