Travel insurance is a protection policy for tourists and travelers that covers unforeseen losses and damages while traveling. Most travel insurance plans primarily cover emergency medical bills while traveling abroad. However, comprehensive policies usually include trip cancellation, lost luggage, aircraft delays, public liability, as well as other costs. Travel insurance policies are usually available for both international tourists as well as domestic travelers. Moreover, travel insurance can provide travelers with a sense of security and safety while visiting a foreign land. However, with slowdowns in the travel and hospitality segment caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global travel insurance industry experienced significant shrinkage during the period. Although, with the average travel scene returning back on levels of pre-pandemic levels, the travel insurance market is expected to grow in the coming years.
The growth of the global travel insurance market is driven by factors such as the rise in tourism demands post the pandemic. Owing to the COVID-19 outbreak and the government-imposed lockdowns, the travel industry saw a massive decline in the market. However, the global tourism sector has been recovering from the pandemic, and the tourism sector has seen a considerable increase in revenue generation. The increase in revenge spending among people is considered an essential factor in increasing tourism revenue. In addition, government-mandated travel policies further fuel the growth of the travel insurance market. However, the lack of awareness regarding travel insurance policies among users limits the growth of this market. Contrarily, new technological developments in the travel insurance industry are anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the market in the upcoming years. With the growth in adoption of smartphones and handheld devices, travel bookings and insurance policies have become more accessible for the common people. Travel agency websites and services have made it easier for consumers to book, transact & cancel tickets and bookings. In addition, the expansion of products and services in a travel insurance policy is expected to provide numerous opportunities for the expansion of the travel insurance market during the forecast period.
