<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Prior to the early 90s, when government health insurance paid for most out-of-country medical emergencies, private travel insurance was a niche business, covering mainly incidental costs like hospital TV and phone charges, room upgrades, and private nursing if necessary. But since then, for almost 30 years, the accelerating flight of Canada's snowbirds  winter migrators seeking warmer climes  to Florida, Arizona, Cuba, Mexico, Hawaii and beyond has fueled a phenomenal growth in emergency medical travel insurance sales, peaking at CA$990 million in 2018 and projected soon to hit the $1 billion mark.</abstract>
