SINGAPORE, 16 February 22024: More delays and ever-changing updates to travel essentials have made the journey confusing for travellers, especially those boarding a flight to far-flung places for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why travel insurance experts from Quotezone.co.uk have provided their top tips for young travellers to consider when jetting off. The youth travel market was estimated to account for 23% of all international tourist arrivals, generating more than UKP250 billion. Gen Z, 18 to 27-year-olds, book an average of 29 holiday days a year, with 90% of their travel decisions made by what they see on social media \u2013 with nearly half, 43%, using online travel agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Travel insurance expert Tiffany Mealiff at Quotezone.co.uk says:\u00a0\u201cTravelling is confusing at the best of times; it\u2019s tough to keep up with the changing dos and don\u2019ts, especially if you\u2019re taking a gap year and travelling to multiple countries as part of one trip. We\u2019ve compiled a handy list of essentials that all young travellers should know before heading off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGen Z travellers seem to rely heavily on social media channels for their travelling advice, and nearly half book the trips themselves online, so it\u2019s worth doing some extra homework and checking official sources such as the Foreign Office \u2013 to make sure all bases are covered before setting off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhether you took out a travel insurance policy for your upcoming trip at the same time you booked your flights, or you haven\u2019t taken out a policy yet, it\u2019s worth knowing what your policy will likely cover you for and what might be excluded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
