“Entering the long holiday season, We see an increase in travel insurance purchases to both local and international tourist destinations. This is a good sign for the industry, because more and more people are starting to understand the importance of travel insurance, and insurance in general. At the same time, This also proves that microinsurance is one of the keys to increasing insurance penetration, making insurance more accessible, affordable, and flexible – meeting current customer needs,” said Henry Mixson, Country Manager Igloo Indonesia.
In addition to data on travel insurance purchases, Igloo also provides several tips for holiday visitors in the upcoming holiday season:
