The travel industry’s rapid recovery has sparked a sharp rise in demand for personal insurance, with premiums growing faster than the global economy, according to a new report by McKinsey. As more people take trips, they are realizing the importance of protecting themselves with travel, health, and property coverage.
Experts say the trend reflects travelers’ growing awareness of risks, from medical emergencies to trip cancellations. Insurance costs are climbing at a rate higher than overall economic growth, showing that people are willing to pay more for safety and peace of mind.
McKinsey’s research highlights that the personal insurance market is expanding quickly, especially in regions with booming tourism. Countries with strong travel industries, like those in Southeast Asia and Europe, are seeing the biggest jumps in policy purchases.
The report also notes that travelers now prefer flexible insurance plans that cover unexpected events, such as extreme weather or sudden illness. This shift is pushing insurers to create more customized products.
As global travel continues to rebound, the personal insurance market is expected to keep growing. For now, industry experts advise travelers to compare policies carefully and choose coverage that matches their needs.
