Holidaymakers making early bookings shun travel insurance
Over one million holidaymakers who have made early holiday bookings this year have not taken out travel insurance, according to findings from Sainsburys Finance .
The research found that 1.14 million holidaymakers who have already booked their holidays for this year have shunned travel insurance and worryingly, have no intention of purchasing any travel cover .
Joanne Mallon, travel insurance manager at Sainsburys Finance, said: “Anyone travelling abroad on holiday should ensure they have good quality insurance. Its easy to forget to buy travel insurance during the excitement of booking your holiday, but cover that will provide assistance when abroad and for cancellations should you fall ill before your trip for example, really is as essential as your passport .”
The study also revealed a reduction in the number of people who have made early bookings this year. Although around 8.9 million adults plan to book a vacation before the end of February, this figure is down 19 per cent compared to last year.
