Where can I stay?

The city of Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland. Originally a market town, Belfast quickly developed into an industrial and vibrant city in the nineteenth century. The city remains divided by walls of separation barriers, creating a strong division between Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods. The walls have been placed there in order to reduce violence levels between Protestants and Catholics.

Belfast has many attractions to offer visitors to the city and the level of tourism has increased significantly since 2001. A landmark in the area is the Albert Memorial Clock Tower which was built in the early 1960′s following the death of Prince Albert.

The determination of whether you should purchase travel insurance is a determination of whether you want to assume nothing bad can happen during your travels, or whether should something bad happen you can adequately resolve these unforeseen events.

None of us think something bad will happen. We assume incorrectly that fire, flood, earthquake and terrorism will happen to others. We assume we won’t have a heart attack or stroke, we won’t be felled by illness. We assume wrong.

The question, “should you purchase travel insurance” is perhaps answered by asking yourself why you purchased homeowners insurance, or medical insurance or life insurance. You purchased them so that your consistent small payments would assure you of having someone else provide help in case of a catastrophic event for which you are unprepared. Purchasing travel insurance, just like purchasing any other insurance, is not just about receiving the funds to recover. It’s also about having the professional assistance of those who know what has to happen for you and your family to recover, and who do make that happen. It’s about cooler heads prevailing. (more…)
