Although such groups usually express risks, insurance and other contents when organizing tourism activities, in real accidents, the responsibility of the organizers is often unavoidable. The applicant for travel accident insurance can be a legal person or a natural person. As long as the insured (tourist) agrees to the applicant's insurance, it can be insured if it meets the conditions.
