It is “imperative” for travellers to ensure they have the correct insurance cover for their trip say experts. 
STA travel said that every level of travel insurance is different offering various degrees of inclusion and levels of cover.
A spokesperson for the company said there is also a ‘no-one-size-fits all’ approach to purchasing travel insurance.
With adventure holidays and long-haul trips there are increased levels of risk which must be taken into account when selecting insurance cover.
“It may not be the most exciting, but travel insurance is probably the most important purchase you’ll make for your trip,” she said.
It will help you enjoy your trip, offering you protection “against the unexpected” she added.
According to figures from the Mintel Gap Year report, predictions are that the global gap year market will be worth £11 billion by 2010.
The research showed that the market demographic is split into those travelling before, during and after university, as well as those taking a ‘career gap’ and the post-retirement travellers.
