You buy an adventure trip that revolves around the outdoors, so you're at the mercy of the weather, right? Wrong, well, mostly. Many adventure trip providers now offer insurance against the elements because these trips aren't cheap, and for many individuals or families, they're aspirational once-in-a-lifetime holidays. So, taking a chance on the weather being perfect being right is just too much of a risk without the insurance.
Great, no hassle then if you don't get good weather for your adventure holiday. Well, that doesn't seem to be the case for the O'Neil family, who booked a £3,500 ($4807.56) holiday to Lapland. Lisa O'Neil complained to the tour operator Tui after the family's four-day holiday got the go-ahead last December.
On the face of it, it's strange to complain about getting a green light for your vacation, but the operator has a "no snow, you don't have to go," and you guessed it, there was no snow.
