Travel Insurance Trends In UAE
Many countries prefer that you have travel insurance when you visit their land for a vacation. A travel insurance is a safety net of sorts that you require especially in the case of emergencies. After all, it will be the first point of contact for you in an unknown country that will help cover most of the damages. And according to the trends in the travel insurance industry, there has been a significant growth in the number of customer enquiries! Yes, at 182%, customers are increasingly enquiring about travel insurance, which is a must for every traveller. In fact, 85% of these travellers are between the age groups of 25 and 40 years!
Top 5 Destinations For Travellers From UAE
In case, of travel trends in the UAE, the top five travel destinations are Azerbaijan, Georgia, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Armenia. However, the top three nationalities that are travelling out of the UAE happen to be Indians, Pakistanis, and Filipinos. According to the data provided by the CEO of Policybazaar.ae, Neeraj Gupta, the average travel duration is nine days. So the 182% rise in custom enquiries is certainly a significant growth, as compared to the previous year. This means that people in the UAE who are travelling are increasingly getting interested in buying travel insurance policies that not only suit their budget but cover them adequately.
This is quite important as there are certain countries and regions in the world that do not accept visa applications if the documents do not include travel insurance. For instance, all the Schengen countries require mandatory travel insurance for the person applying for the visa. However, there are many travel insurance schemes out there and you must make the wise choice of choosing the right one that offers optimum coverage for your travel.
So, no matter where you travel next, make sure to carefully read through the documents required by the country and if they ask for travel insurance, do apply for the right one.
