What does a basic 7-day Asia travel insurance plan cover? Most basic plans cover emergency medical costs, trip cancellation, and lost or delayed baggage. Always read the full policy schedule on the insurer's official Hong Kong website before buying.
Are these prices for one adult traveller? Yes. Every price in this list is for a single adult on a standard 7-day Asia trip departing from Hong Kong. Family, senior, or business-travel rates will be different.
