Traveling to India: should I get a filter for my Canon EF 24-70 F/2.8 Mk II lens?

i just paid $468 to replace front element....

on 24-70L II and I use protective filters most of the time.  I don't when shooting at night or when I am using other filters like NDs or CPL.  I damaged the coasting on the lens from the few times I cleaned it in the field,  probably a foreign object on rag or tee shirt.  anyhow I recommend to always use a clear filter unless you have a reason to take it off.
