We’ve had an understandable increase in telephone calls over recent weeks as a result of the increasing Swine Flu problem. Both World First Travel Insurance and our insurers are working together to ensure all policyholders receive the most appropriate advice, and assistance where necessary.
We decided to post some quick questions and answers on the blog to help:
It’s official. The summer holidays are here, and many of us are planning a break at home this year. World First Travel Insurance is asking British holiday makers to take out protection. It is common practice for all holiday operators to charge for cancelled or abandoned holidays, indeed it is part of the legally binding contract we enter into when we book the holiday whether at home or abroad. With some operators charging 100%, and some insurance policies offering no cover at all on domestic breaks, World First is telling us we need to cover up – even during a British summer.
Predictions are pointing to a boom summer for the domestic tourism scene, with estimates showing 5 million of us taking a summer “staycation”, and already organisations like Haven Holidays and The Caravan Club are seeing bookings up 50% and 25% respectively. Whilst the economy may be biting, it has not yet stopped us from taking our well earned break.
