Consumers are prepared to spend more on travel insurance and upgrading other elements of their holiday to ensure they can travel safely during the pandemic, according to new research.

Older travellers are keen to holiday but need reassurance, Silver Travel Advisor found

AllClear Travel Insurance found holidaymakers are prepared to spend an extra £1,335 on ensuring holiday safety when they finally travel again, including better insurance, higher quality accommodation and options such as private excursions and transfers.

Those with underlying health issues are willing to spend even more (£1,644) to ensure they have as safe a trip as possible.


The survey revealed the majority of UK households (55%) want to resume travelling now that Covid-19 vaccinations are being rolled out.
