The further holidaymakers travel outside Western Europe, the more important medical expenses cover is, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said.
Malcolm Tarling, a spokesperson for the organisation, explained that different countries present different risks.
"The further afield you travel – ie outside Western Europe – the more important medical expenses cover is, for example especially if travelling to Africa and Asia," he said.
Mr Tarling added: "And of course, with the danger of very expensive medical bills, having adequate medical expenses cover is vital when travelling to USA."
Mr Tarling concluded: "In some parts of the world – especially major cities – travellers may be particuarly vulnerable to criminals, such as pickpockets, so having insurance to cover possessions is important."
Culture and Sightseeing – City Tours – Whichever city you are in these tours will help to ensure you do not miss a thing.
