Some CNY Safety tips are necessary whether you’re traveling, hosting, or simply relaxing with family, the right coverage keeps you protected from unexpected setbacks.
As the Lunar New Year draws near, Hong Kong lights up with red lanterns, festive gatherings, temple visits, and long-awaited journeys. Amid the excitement, it’s easy to overlook the practical details — yet a quick review of your insurance can make all the difference.
This season, take a moment to ensure your home, health, and travel plans are well secured. Celebrate with confidence, knowing Navigator Insurance is here to safeguard what matters most — so you can welcome the New Year with true peace of mind.
1. Travel Smart: Review Your Travel Insurance
Many Hong Kong professionals and teachers take advantage of the Lunar New Year break to travel overseas or back home to see family. With airports and transport hubs packed, the risk of flight delays, lost baggage, or sudden illness increases.
Check your coverage: Confirm that your travel insurance includes protection for trip cancellations, medical emergencies abroad, and flight disruptions.
Emergency assistance: Ensure your policy provides 24/7 overseas medical and evacuation support.
Annual vs. single-trip policies: If you travel often, an annual plan can save both time and money.
Example: One teacher’s ski trip to Japan was saved when her policy covered flight cancellations due to snowstorms. Always review your coverage details before you depart.
2. Protect Your Home During the Holidays
Between festive gatherings and extended trips, homes are often left unattended or filled with visitors — both situations raise risks.
Home contents insurance: Safeguard valuables, electronics, and furniture against fire, water damage, or theft while you’re away.
Fire prevention: With candles, incense, and festive lighting in full swing, unplug appliances and avoid overloading circuits.
Liability matters: If guests visit your home, make sure your policy covers accidental injuries or property damage.
Navigator Insurance offers tailored home protection plans for Hong Kong residents — giving you peace of mind during the year’s busiest and brightest festivities.
3. Health Comes First: Stay Covered During Celebrations
Late-night celebrations, rich festive foods, and busy schedules can take a toll on your health.
Review your medical coverage: Check your health insurance limits for outpatient, hospital, and emergency care.
Know your provider network: If you’re staying in Hong Kong, locate nearby clinics within your coverage.
Peace of mind for your family: Consider adding dependents to your plan if they’re visiting from overseas during CNY.
4. Annual Policy Review: Set Good Habits for the New Year
Much like cleaning your home before the New Year, reviewing your insurance portfolio is an excellent annual ritual.
Consolidate your life, health, travel, and home policies.
Adjust sums insured to match current needs and inflation.
Talk to a trusted broker about potential overlaps or gaps in coverage.
