Changing the situation and traveling abroad for many Russians is a favorite way to cope with seasonal meddling and recharge your vigor. Especially many tourists go abroad during the New Year holidays. When deciding on a country for a winter trip, be sure to study the peculiarities of its climate. Remember that “contrast” rest is not always useful, since our body is tuned to certain climatic conditions, and a sharp change in temperature can provoke an exacerbation of chronic diseases. At risk, in particular, tourists suffering from cardiovascular diseases, disorders of the nervous system, asthma. Thus, preparing for a winter trip, it is worth paying close attention to the issue of health insurance. This is especially true for those who plan to play sports, such as skiing or snowboarding. Standard health insurance does not cover some of the risks. The peculiarity of insurance for skiers and snowboarders is that additional sports risk is insured. In the case of insurance of an amateur skier, the insurance rate is doubled compared to the standard tariff under the basic insurance contract, when insuring professional skiers, the standard tariff is tripled, concluded Anton Kolegov, chief underwriter of the Travel Insurance Department of AlfaInsurance.
