Kinki Nippon Tourist has begun handling Tokyo Marine Nichido Fire Insurance’s school trip insurance product, “Tour Cancellation Insurance for School.”
This insurance can be purchased directly online by parents or guardians of students participating in school events such as school trips and nature-study camps. It provides 100% coverage of cancellation fees incurred when participation in a school event must be canceled for unavoidable reasons such as illness or injury.
Until now, in collaboration with Tokyo Marine Nichido, the company has offered cancellation fee insurance that schools could enroll in on a school-wide basis. However, in recent years, due to rising costs of accommodation and transportation in Japan, more schools have decided not to enroll in cancellation insurance, resulting in many cases where each household is responsible for paying the cancellation fees.
Covered events include school trips, overnight training programs, club activities (tournament participation and training camps), ski camps, and excursions in Japan. Covered reasons include the death, hospitalization, or outpatient treatment of the child or family members, suspension or delay of public transportation on the day of departure, damage to the home, passport theft, and similar incidents.
