TRAVEL agents are selling more comprehensive, ‘higher-end’ holiday insurance policies as consumer’s fears about security persist.
Consumers are ‘more conscious about cover’ in the current climate, according to Ashley Close, head of #travelinsurance partnerships and business development at Holiday Extras, which sells 90% of its insurance product via travel agents.
The trend has emerged as the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) said it was seeking a review of travel insurance regulation following a ‘worrying rise’ in people travelling without cover.
Mr Close said agents who were ‘already doing a good job of selling lower-end policies’ were shifting to policies which offer more cover. ‘People are more conscious of making sure they are protected. If they are going to areas that may be risky, they want to make sure they are covered.’
Andrea Clayton-Norris, sales director at Citybond Suretravel, agreed consumers were ‘moving towards the higher-end, more flexible policies’.
