Brits develop a taste for adventurous holidays

July 27th, 2010

Adventurous holidays are becoming more popular according to research done by swiftcover.com. They found that when it comes to extreme holidays 23% of people would go white-water rafting, 17% would like to drive a fast car around a race track and 16% would do a parachute jump. There is a definite shift in holiday habits, and while luxury holidays are still very popular, more people are choosing something more exotic and adventurous. However dream holidays such as these do come at a price. Some people choose to save for their dream holidays which could take years, some will pay on their credit cards and 4% of people say they would marry a rich man or women!

Roman Bryl, Travel Underwriting Manager for swiftcover.com, says:

If people are venturing farther afield they do need to make sure they have the right travel insurance that covers them for more exotic destinations beyond Europe and provides adequate cover for things like medical emergencies, which can be very expensive. Backpackers should consider insurance such as swiftcover.com’s Gap policy, which is specially designed for their needs.
