School holidays are a much-anticipated time for many families, especially in Indonesia. However, amidst the excitement of buying tickets and booking hotels, travel protection, even though it's crucial, is often overlooked. This article discusses how to plan a safe and economical school holiday by combining tickets, accommodation, and Oona Insurance as the main travel protection.
After two busy semesters of studying, vacation is a much-awaited treat for children and parents. It's no wonder many families hunt for promotional tickets and discounted hotels well in advance. However, one crucial element often gets overlooked.late: Travel insurance.
The school holiday season, which typically lasts from June to July, is a period of peak tourist activity. Risks such as flight delays, lost luggage, and children falling ill abroad increase sharply.
Oona Insurance is here to provide peace of mind while traveling with comprehensive protection coverage that can be integrated directly into your vacation plans.
However, planning a vacation isn't just about accommodation and transportation. There's one important aspect that's often overlooked, yet crucial to keeping your family safe: travel protection.
To understand its importance, let's look at some examples of situations that often occur during school holidays.
School holidays can feel safe and fun. However, behind the excitement, there are various travel risks that can arise, especially when traveling with children. Here are some common situations families often face during the holidays:
Imagine a family on a 10-day vacation in Japan. On the second day, their child develops a high fever and must be taken to a clinic. The cost of a doctor's consultation and minor medical treatment in Tokyo can reach over 3 million rupiah.
Without the protection of Oona Travel Insurance, all of these costs would have to be covered out of pocket—and could wreak havoc on your vacation budget.
According to data from Squaremouth (2023), the average travel insurance claim is $1,900 per case, while the average premium is only about one-sixth of that amount. This means that unexpected costs like childcare while on vacation can far exceed the premium paid.
Another scenario: A family takes an international flight and is delayed eight hours. Upon arrival, their main suitcase is missing. They must restock clothes, diapers, and other essentials.
Oona Travel Insurance provides compensation for travel delays and the cost of emergency items that must be purchased when luggage has not been found.
As school holidays approach, platforms such as Traveloka reported a large increase in domestic and international travel volumes from Indonesia—making airports more congested and increasing operational risks such as delays or lost baggage.
Several favorite destinations for Indonesian tourists—including Bali, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur—have seen a rise in cases of seasonal illnesses such as dengue fever and gastroenteritis.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that dengue fever cases nearly doubled globally by 2024, with more than 5 million people affected. Meanwhile, many tourists reported mild digestive upset ("Bali belly"), a common occurrence in some tourist areas.
Given the various risks that can arise, it's clear that comprehensive protection is essential. Fortunately, Oona Insurance offers a range of features specifically designed to address these needs—especially during school holidays.
