Travel Medical Insurance (also called Visitors Insurance) primarily covers health and accident-related expenses while you are abroad, such as hospital stays, doctor visits, and emergency medical evacuation.
Travel Insurance (often called Trip Insurance or trip protection) mainly protects your prepaid travel costs, such as trip cancellations, interruptions, delays, and lost baggage. While it may include some limited medical coverage, its primary focus is on protecting your trip expenses rather than major medical bills. If medical coverage is your priority, a travel medical plan is the better option for you.
