Travel insurance is protection for you while you're travelling. For instance, it can cover the cost of a hotel room in case you have to cancel your trip or the cost of airfare. It can also provide for medical insurance in case you become sick on your trip. So it's basically an additional layer of protection for you while you're travelling.
