It’s official: Italy has been revealed as Britain’s most loved holiday destination.

We asked over 1,000 UK holidaymakers to tell us the holiday destination they love the most and Italy came out top thanks to its postcard-perfect scenery, pretty towns and tasty cuisine. 

Italy took 10.7% of the votes, with The Canary Islands coming a close second, followed by firm favourites the USA and Spain.

With millions of people booking their 2024 holidays now, it’s important to remember that getting ready for your holiday is more than just packing your bags and booking your flights. Finding adequate Travel Insurance is essential to protect against unforeseen circumstances, including medical emergencies abroad, especially in light of rising medical costs.

Travel Insurance is a vital aspect of holiday planning, and it should meet the requirements of your specific holiday needs. Once you’ve booked your trip, it’s recommended that you organise Travel Insurance as soon as possible in case unforeseen events like illness or family emergencies means you need to cancel your holiday. 

Dale Robinson, Head of Marketing and Communications, said,

“It’s clear to see why Italy consistently features in our top ten destinations and is the most loved among our customers, but beyond the excitement of planning your next trip away, it’s crucial to consider the unexpected. Travel Insurance isn’t just an option; it’s necessary to provide peace of mind that should something go wrong, you’re covered”

Adding:

“While the GHIC can help reduce medical costs, it doesn’t cover everything and is not a replacement for insurance. It’s important to get cover in place as soon as you book, in case a change in circumstance means you need to cancel your holiday – although you should also be advised to always check the wordings to see what’s covered.” 

No matter how often you travel or where you decide to go, you need to be prepared for the unexpected. With Travel Insurance, you can travel with peace of mind. We are here to help you find a  Travel Insurance policy by working with multiple travel insurers, some with no age limit policies, to find cover tailored to your needs.
