    IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON TRAVEL INSURANCE MARKET

    COVID-19 has severely affected travel insurance providers as most of the countries closed their borders in order to combat its spread.

     

    Industry giants such as Zurich Insurance Group reported a 40% decline in their profits due to  reduced demand for travel insurance caused by a sharp decline in sales at Cover-More, alongside reduced life insurance operations due to adverse disability claims, effected a 56-per-cent decline in the company’s earnings for its Asia-Pacific business.

     

    Overall, the virus wiped out around USD 686 million from its profits as compared to last year due to the imposition of travel restrictions across the world.

     

    As the outbreak of the virus is controlled and people are resuming back to work, most of the travel insurers are starting to offer cover for COVID-19 to provide a reassurance to the travellers that they are looking for during the trip.

    Saga, a UK based specialist insurer introduced cover for the treatment of the disease abroad and repatriation to UK as standard on its travel insurance policies for all trips from June-1.The company  had refunded around USD 54 million of advance payments to customers whose travel was interrupted by the outbreak and such changes were introduced  to provide certainty to the customers who plan to visit after the lock down restrictions were  lifted .

     

    In order to reduce its impact, companies have also introduced new travel insurance policies that takes into consideration road trips that would become a necessity till the virus is controlled. Seven Corners, a company in US launched an insurance policy named as ARMOR that provides an annual subscription which can be applied to any road trip and provides benefits such as returning a passenger, motorcycle or a car during road trips.

     

    In order to safeguard their interest, most of the companies have introduced dynamic premiums in order to compensate for the risk involved in the travel. For Example, in case a person wants to visit USA, premiums could be high as compared to travel to South Asia countries where the risk of the disease is less.

     

    Two types of travel insurance policies which are expected to be offered after the pandemic includes

    1. “Cancel for any reason” travel insurance. It costs between 10% and 12% of the price of the vacation, and it will refund part of travel costs if the trip gets cancelled. 
    2. “Named perils” travel insurance. This is the more common kind of travel insurance. It’s less expensive (7% to 9% of trip cost), but it only covers the perils named in the policy and a pandemic is probably not included.

    Cancel for any reason” travel insurance is more expensive than standard “named perils” travel insurance, it is more flexible. Its main benefit is that if one changes his mind about the trip, the policy guarantees a minimum of 75% of money would be refunded. 

     

    As the outbreak of the virus is controlled and people are resuming back to work, most of the travel insurers are starting to offer cover for COVID-19 to provide a reassurance to the travellers that they are looking for during the trip.

     

    Covid-19 insurance plans are gradually joining passports as holiday must-haves, generating opportunities for insurers. Countries need mandatory coverage in case tourists become sick from the coronavirus. More than a dozen nations, ranging from Aruba to Thailand, require tourists to have Covid-19 coverage, with Jordan being the most recent to accept such safeguards.

     

    A travel insurance package that covers trip safety, medical expense coverage for Covid-19, and luggage and personal effects coverage usually costs 4% to 8% of the trip’s dollar value. Many of the biggest providers such as AXA Assistance USA, Berkshire Hathaway Protection Plan, Seven Corners and Generali have changed their policies to consider contracting Covid-19 unforeseen, like any other illness or virus.

     

    Although the pandemic continues, vaccines are now being administrated around the world, several countries began to reopen travel and tourism. The CDC’s (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention US) new rule on January 26, 2021 – all air passengers who arrive in the U.S. from a foreign country must get tested for Covid no more than three days before their flights depart and report must be negative.
