        We always recommend SOS emmergency evacuation service to include in a travel package beside Travel insurance service.

        International SOS emmergency air evacuation service is different from Travel insurance. When an accident happens SOS international system will be accessed immediately by Sisters Tours. Traveler will get taken care of by SOS 24 hours from the moment of accident until the traveler is in safety condition and gets home.
