Australians who cancel plans to visit Sri Lanka because of the bombings on Easter Sunday that killed about 250 people will generally be out of pocket because travel insurance won't cover it. changed its travel warning on the day after the bombings to "reconsider your need to travel" – the third highest of the four threat levels.
A handful of policies include cover for financial loss due to cancellation, but only if the official travel advice is changed to the highest threat level of "do not travel".
Ms Parker said if the official travel advice was moved to the top-threat level, she would "seriously reconsider" going to Sri Lanka. Aside from the personal risk, she wouldn't want to be a burden on the local community. One couple who had booked have had their deposit returned. Others had cancelled their plans to travel, while some are carrying on undeterred. "We will do everything to ensure that every dollar is refunded," Mr Perera said.A spokesperson for Allianz Australia Insurance said travellers looking to change their travel arrangements should contact their travel agent or provider directly. Some allow customers to amend travel arrangements without penalty.
