**Most at risk are younger travellers** as almost half (48%) will have a holiday abroad without taking out travel insurance.

Recently released FCO research has found that 4 out of 5 (82%) young people admit to taking part in more adventurous behaviour on holiday – yet fewer than half (45%) check that their insurance covers risky pursuits.

**Mike said:** *“I backed this campaign last year as nothing would spoil a well-earned summer holiday more than suddenly realising that you don’t have the right kind of insurance in an emergency. Unplanned medical treatment can be extremely expensive, costing tens of thousands of pounds. It’s simply not worth taking the risk.”*
