Hong Kong Travel Insurance
Hong Kong is a safe city to visit and it is easy to get to get around as well, with its superb transport infrastructure and tourist services. As with anywhere in the world, pickpockets and unscrupulous individuals that may try to relieve you of your hard-earned cash do operate in crowded areas and aboard city transport, although, in general, Hong Kong is a safe city.
Health-wise, you need to be aware that the New Territories region of Hong Kong suffers from Japanese Encephalitis during the summer and that emergency medical treatment requires a hefty payment for visitors, which is refundable on return home if you have insurance. Sickness from the food and to a lesser extent, water, is quite common, as is heat stroke in the summer. Pedestrians should also be aware of the busy road traffic in Central and Kowloon, and that cars drive on the left. We highly recommend that you take out travel insurance that includes medical coverage when visiting Hong Kong.
