Even assuming that the average cost of travel travel insurance for Asia is Rs.1,000 (on the higher side), and the overall trip costs in the region of Rs.40,000 (per person including air transfers, hotel stay, local tour packages etc), the % contribution of insurance is just 2.5%. This clearly illustrates that every Asian traveller should consciously insure themselves prior to departing from India.
