It might be the least exciting aspect of a holiday to organise, but travel insurance is essential for peace of mind, particularly for winter-sports holidays when the likelihood of injury is that much higher. Given that, you would think skiers and snowboarders would make this a priority.
Wrong. New research from Abta, the UK association for tour operators and travel agents, reveals that more than 3.5million British adults – that’s nearly a third of all skiers and snowboarders – have admitted to failing to take out insurance for their winter trips.
During the last ski season, Abta reported more than 200 significant injuries among British holidaymakers; and this is just the number of accidents reported – the actual figure could be much higher.
