The adoption of travel insurance has increased substantially over time as a result of surge in the number of travelers and the widespread availability of travel insurance through online vendors & insurance intermediaries. Furthermore, added health risks while traveling amidst the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic are aiding in the growth of the travel insurance market during the period. In addition, several local governments and authorities are mandating travel insurance for foreign visitors amidst the outbreak of COVID-19, which is expected to further boost the growth of the global travel insurance market.
