What is Badminton?

Badminton is a fast-paced racquet sport played using a shuttlecock across a net. It can be played as singles or doubles and is known for its quick volleys, strategic gameplay, and physical agility. It’s popular both recreationally and competitively around the world.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Badminton?

Yes. While badminton is generally a safe sport, accidents can happen, such as sprains, strains, or impact injuries from the shuttlecock. If you’re traveling for tournaments or leisure, travel insurance can cover medical expenses, lost or damaged equipment, and trip cancellations.
