Positive Outlook on Canadians Travelling in 2019

From bucket-list trips to impromptu getaways, the start of 2019 will represent a new year of travel possibilities for travellers.

With 44 percent of Canadians booking vacations from two to six months in advance according to the Allianz Global Assistance 2018/2019 Annual Winter Vacation Confidence survey, they might only think about protecting their “big trip” for the year.

But what if they decide to hop across the border for the weekend, or take advantage of a last-minute seat sale?

At the beginning of the year, there are potentially 365 days in which to take trips.

In that time, the number of trips travellers take in a year can easily end up being more than they had planned for. That makes the start of the year also a good time for licensed travel insurance advisors to remind their clients to prepare in advance for that possibility.

An easy, convenient and affordable way to do just that is with a multi-trip plan. One policy provides a year’s worth of coverage on an unlimited number of trips.

For travellers, that also means the freedom and flexibility to get up and go at a moment’s notice and know that they’ll get the help they need both for the trips they planned for—and seat sales and other travel opportunities that are just too good to pass up.
