Welcome to AllClear’s latest travel trends report. This updated edition reports on the alarming trend of holidaymakers not declaring their full medical information when buying Travel Insurance – an issue that can have catastrophic financial and emotional consequences for holidaymakers. Of great concern, this trend is prevalent among those that have pre-existing medical conditions and are planning trips abroad.
The timing of this report is important, given 2025 is set to be a boom year for overseas travel. Our latest January 2025 data revealed that nine in ten British adults (91%) have started the new year with firm resolutions to book up overseas holidays for 2025. While 49% of those going on holiday abroad are planning to visit hotspots in the Mediterranean, many plan to go further afield: 32% would like to visit the Caribbean this year, with 20% opting for Australia or New Zealand and 17% North America.
Since 2021, AllClear has researched consumer attitudes to travel and we have monitored the impact of the pandemic and cost-of-living crisis on holiday choices and priorities.
This report shares highlights from our research on this topic since 2021. This new, updated edition of the report, offers insight on the reasons why people, knowingly or not, fail to declare important information when buying travel cover.
We have researched opinions among a representative sample of people that travel abroad with medical conditions.
