Backpackers heading off for their summer holidays have been warned by Lonely Planet that they should not take expensive technological gadgets with them if they “can’t bear to lose [them]“.
Tom Hall, travel editor at Lonely Planet, commented that although holidaymakers are increasingly packing their iPods, cameras and mobile phones when going abroad, they should not do so if they are afraid of losing them.
Mr Hall noted that the trend towards taking expensive devices on holiday highlights the importance of having the right travel insurance policy.
“There are very good reasons why people might want to take all of those items with them but I think that it once again underlines the need for people to have travel insurance,” he commented.
In related news, esure has advised travellers to check the small print on their insurance documents if they are planning an adventurous holiday to make sure they provide proper cover in the event of an accident.
