City breaks are set to enjoy a peak in 2025, as AllClear Travel Insurance reveals that nine in ten (91%) British people have started the new year with firm resolutions to book up overseas holidays for 2025.
City breaks are set to enjoy a significant peak in 2025. Whilst the Covid era saw the popularity of city breaks plummet to 13%, they bounced back last spring (23%) and this year is set to see a new peak, with 48% opting for a city break as part of their holiday mix for 2025.
Relaxation and wellbeing are important for holidaymakers in 2025 – with 27% looking forward to the simple pleasures of a holiday lounging by the hotel pool. Cruises are also popular for one in five adults (22%) – peaking with people aged over 55 (29%).
Cutting corners on travel cover puts some holidaymakers at risk
Whilst there is a strong appetite to embark on exciting adventures abroad this year, the AllClear data also suggests that some people could be taking unnecessary risks by cutting corners on their travel cover. Over the last year, one in four people with medical conditions (26%) admit that they withheld information when shopping around for travel insurance – and this is most commonly done when people worried about being refused an insurance policy (61%) or feel the need to find travel cover at a cheaper price (60%).
Garry Nelson, Head of Corporate Affairs at AllClear Travel Insurance comments: “From the data it is clear that there are a range of factors at play. It’s clear from our AllClear data that there is a sizeable knowledge gap that needs to be closed. At AllClear, we go to strenuous efforts to stress the importance of people disclosing medical information when buying travel cover – we firmly believe it’s the best way to help customers.
“A lot of vulnerable customers are making decisions on cover that open them up to serious risks abroad. Together, we must change the agenda away from price and – for people with medical conditions – to make the case for quality and safety first.”
