The end of the year is always a highly anticipated time for many. After working hard all year, the Christmas, New Year, and end-of-year holidays are the perfect time to relax, gather with family, or travel to dream destinations. However, amidst the holiday excitement, many people forget that this time also carries various risks that can be detrimental financially and emotionally.
From extreme weather to flight delays, theft of personal belongings, to health issues at tourist destinations, anything can happen unexpectedly. Unfortunately, most people don’t have adequate protection against these risks. Vacation risks not only threaten your wallet, but also your health and the smooth running of your planned schedule.
And most importantly, ensure you have the right financial protection, such as travel insurance, property insurance, and public liability insurance for businesses in the tourism, hotel, and restaurant sectors. Before risks arise, ensure your year-end trip is well-protected. Contact L&G Insurance Broker now on 08118507773 for a free consultation regarding your travel, asset and business protection.
The Threat of Delays and Cancellations in the Rainy Season
The end-of-year holiday season is synonymous with the arrival of the rainy season in most parts of Indonesia. Heavy rain, storms, and even potential flooding not only disrupt travel but can also cause delays, cancellations, or even accidents. This situation is most often experienced by travelers using air transportation.
Data from various airlines shows that flight delays increase sharply from December to January, primarily due to extreme weather. For those without travel insurance, losses due to ticket cancellations or additional accommodation costs can be significant. Travel insurance provides compensation for flight delays or cancellations, lost baggage, and additional costs due to bad weather that disrupts schedules.
- Financial Impact of Delay: Delay compensation in travel insurance often includes the cost of meals, sudden accommodation, and alternative transportation tickets that had to be purchased.
- Cancellation Protection: If your flight is canceled and you cannot be refunded by the airline due to weather factors (force majeure), travel insurance can cover the loss, including tour tickets that have been paid in advance.
After all, while the weather can’t be controlled, the financial risks can be managed. Don’t let the weather ruin your vacation plans. Contact L&G Insurance Broker now at 08118507773 for the best travel insurance solutions.
Theft or Loss of Valuables
Crowds at tourist attractions and airports are often exploited by unscrupulous individuals. Cases of lost luggage, gadget theft, and wallet theft are common occurrences every holiday season. The risk of lost luggage increases significantly at airports due to high passenger volumes and cargo mishandling.
Imagine suddenly losing all your important documents, such as your passport, ID cards, and cash, while traveling. Not only is this inconvenient, it can also delay your trip, causing significant losses and bureaucratic complications.
- Lost Baggage Compensation: Travel insurance provides protection against the risk of losing personal belongings. The right travel insurance policy will provide compensation for loss or damage to valuables during your trip.
- Business Protection: For businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and travel agencies, the risk of loss can also occur operationally, such as stock loss, asset damage, or theft on the premises. Therefore, it’s important to consider property and inventory insurance to protect your business’s inventory and assets.

Accidents During Travel or Tourism Activities
Vacations are often filled with adrenaline-pumping activities like whitewater rafting, rock climbing, diving, or hiking in difficult terrain. While these activities are fun, they carry a significant risk of injury. Many tourists are unaware that medical costs at tourist destinations can be quite expensive, especially if they require evacuation to a larger healthcare facility or even return to their home country (medical repatriation).
- Medical Evacuation Costs: In some cases, tourists have to bear medical evacuation costs that reach tens to hundreds of millions of rupiah, especially if they occur abroad or in remote locations.
- Personal Accident and Medical Benefits: Travel insurance can cover all of these costs. Personal accident and medical evacuation benefits will help you receive the best possible care without unnecessary financial burden.
- High-Risk Coverage: L&G Insurance Broker will help you choose a travel insurance policy that covers high-risk travel activities (for example, winter sports or diving, which are often excluded from standard policies). This way, you can enjoy your vacation with peace of mind without worrying about emergency expenses.
Case Study: An Indonesian tourist in Japan suffered a broken leg while skiing. Hospital costs andevacuationThe Rp 150 million expense was fully covered by travel insurance purchased through an insurance broker. Without insurance, this financial burden would have destroyed her vacation budget and personal savings.

Disturbances to Accommodation and Hotel Management
During the holiday season, hotels and restaurants typically operate at full capacity. This often leads to service disruptions such as overbookings, facility damage, or even minor accidents on hotel premises.
- Legal Liability of Managers: As a guest, this can make for an uncomfortable vacation. But for hotel or restaurant managers, the situation is much more complex. Any accident involving a guest, such as a slip in the lobby or food poisoning at a restaurant, can result in significant legal costs. To prevent financial risks like this, public liability insurance is a must-have solution for hospitality businesses. This insurance protects your business from third-party lawsuits resulting from injuries, property damage, or unforeseen incidents on the premises.
- Fixed Asset Protection: In addition, entrepreneurs should consider property insurance to protect their hotel or restaurant buildings from the risk of fire, gas explosions, or other disasters caused by extreme weather or high operating costs during the holiday season. If you have high-value food, beverage, or operational supplies, inventory insurance is also highly recommended.
Property and public liability insurance are the financial backbone of hospitality businesses. Insurance brokers like L&G Insurance Broker help integrate these two policies. Ensure your business is prepared for the holiday season. Contact L&G Insurance Broker now on 08118507773 to get the best public liability and property protection for your business.
Sudden Health Problems or Illnesses
Changes in weather, fatigue from long travel, or irregular eating habits often make the body susceptible to illness while on vacation. Cases such as food poisoning (traveler’s diarrhea), fever, and respiratory infections are common among travelers.
The problem is, medical costs outside the city or abroad can be much higher than those at home. Without travel insurance, you’ll have to cover all medical expenses out-of-pocket, which can drain your vacation savings.
- Medical Expense Coverage: With travel insurance, you can get protection against the costs of medical treatment, hospitalization, and emergency evacuation to the most appropriate hospital.
- 24-Hour Assistance Service: Some policies also include a 24-hour assistance service that is ready to assist in case of emergency at the destination (facilitating language and hospital referrals).
- Hospitality Business Aspects: In addition to individuals, hoteliers should also pay attention to the health of guests and employees. Insurance, such as public liability insurance, can provide protection if guests experience incidents due to operational negligence (e.g., unhygienic food).
A comfortable vacation starts with the right protection. Contact L&G Insurance Broker now on 08118507773 and find the best travel insurance solution to suit your needs.
