If you've worked in the industry, you'll know that most travel policies also include assistance cover.

That's because the post is about travel insurance not travel assistance, as stated on the original question...

"What is the difference between travel assistance and travel insurance?

While these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they are actually very different types of coverage.

Travel assistance provides support services in case of an emergency while traveling.
Travel insurance provides monetary compensation for losses that occur while traveling."

Your answer omitted "assistance", Rachael, so I assumed you didn't know what it meant. Exactly what it covers is not relevant - it means practical help in sorting out your problems. It's usually a standard package, often provided by a third party.

If you are referring to my post, I fully understand the use of "asistencial", I worked in health and travel insurance for over 5 years. Ultimately, it is saying that the insured person is covered up to a limit of XXX USD for assistance, we do not have full disclosure about exactly what type of assistance as not all travel insurance covers every type of assistance (medical, personal belongings, evacuation).

Trying to help a fellow member of the community has certainly not been a pleasant or positive experience today.

They're obviously talking about the quantity of cover, not the quality - hence the dollar amounts, and the use of "mayor", not "mejor".
More importantly, most contributors to this question seem to be misunderstanding "asistencial".

For what it's worth, I just think that insurance companies are usually very careful about how they phrase things. "Cover" is a tricky word that might be seen as both the amount and the terms, but it actually relates to "risk". So, if they say "the best assistance cover", it could be construed as the one covering more risks than any other, rather than simply being the one with the largest amount. Perhaps I'm being overly cautious.

Tope means ceiling, as in a ceiling amount. So it's referring to coverage limits.
