To enhance their services and fulfill clients’ expectations, several travel insurance companies are seeking to strengthen their connections with insurers. The purpose of these upgrades is to enhance the experience for customers.

“Lack of Awareness Regarding Travel Insurance Policies”
A major factor restraining the growth of the market is the lack of understanding and awareness about travel insurance among many people. Eliminating market-wide knowledge gaps for travel insurance is necessary to address this issue and drive the uptake of the product. Also, misinformation about premium costs, the value proposition of travel insurance, offered coverage, and advantages of opting for travel insurance are observed, which is limiting market growth to some extent.
Additionally, the market's expansion is being constrained by consumers' ignorance about the premium costs and coverages of travel insurance. The total sum assured, existing medical issues, age of the assured, and frequency of travel are just a few examples of the variables that can influence the premium rate that a traveler needs to pay for both, domestic and international travel insurance.
