Travel agency insurance - what is important to Poles?

One in four Poles will travel during this year's holidays. Vacationers are divided into those who will organize the trip on their own and those who are more likely to use the services of tour operators. One in ten will turn to an agency to buy a trip abroad, while 6 percent will support themselves with a tour operator organizing trips in Poland, according to the Wiener survey. What insurance offers available from travel agencies are Poles most likely to choose?

The survey found that 42 percent appreciate the option of insuring medical expenses abroad. One in three Poles considers NNW (accidental injury) insurance to be key. Additional forms of insurance are also on the priority list, with 27 percent choosing luggage insurance and 24 percent choosing trip cancellation insurance. 

"Importantly, already 22 percent of respondents consider the sum insured for medical expenses abroad when choosing insurance. This is particularly important, as a low sum may not be enough in case of a serious illness. That is why the sum and scope of the policy should be the deciding aspect when choosing insurance. Tour operators choosing an offer for their customers should keep this in mind," Malgorzata Jakuta, Manager of the Travel Insurance team at Wiener, said.
