At Ritro Plaza Hotel, we welcome travelers of all ages — and we understand that senior guests often have unique needs when it comes to travel. Whether you’re heading out on a well-earned vacation, visiting family, or exploring a dream destination, one thing remains essential: your safety, health, and comfort come first.
That’s why having smart travel protection isn’t just a precaution — it’s part of traveling with confidence. Here are our top tips to help you stay prepared, protected, and at ease on your journey.
1. Choose the Right Travel Insurance Plan
Not all travel insurance is created equal. Senior travelers should look for coverage that includes trip cancellations, emergency medical care, pre-existing conditions, and baggage loss. Make sure the policy covers your destination and preferred activities, especially if you plan to be adventurous.
2. Carry a Medical Summary
Before your trip, prepare a simple medical overview including your prescriptions, conditions, allergies, and emergency contacts. Keep a printed copy in your travel bag, and store a digital one on your phone. It’s a small step that could make a big difference in case of emergencies.
3. Pack Your Medications Properly
Always travel with medications in their original containers, and pack extra in case of delays. It’s also wise to keep them in your carry-on instead of checked luggage. If you have temperature-sensitive medication, talk to your pharmacist about how to store it while traveling.
