Travel insurance is a protection policy for tourists and travelers covering 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, and other costs. Travel insurance policies are usually available for both international tourists and domestic travelers.

• The European tourism industry is experiencing a robust recovery in the first months of 2024 compared to the pre-pandemic levels. Based on data from reporting destinations, foreign arrivals (+7.2%) and overnights (+6.5%) in the first quarter of the year surpassed 2019 figures. The recovery is largely driven by strong intra-regional travel fuelled by Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands. This is coupled with demand from the US, which is the major source market.
