A total 51 per cent of British holidaymakers have admitted that their travel insurance may be the thing that is omitted when planning their travels, according to the research by Norwich Union.
However the research also revealed that despite an economic downturn, two-thirds of
Britons still plan on taking holidays overseas this summer.

 Self catering accommodation, such as the villas available for rent at La Manga Club, are likely to increase in popularity as Brits look for ways to save money on their holidays to Spain and Europe, it has been reported.
According to Holidays Lettings, Britons are looking to new styles of holidaying in response to the current economic downturn.
Ross Elder, managing director of the company, noted that what Britons are unlikely to do is to miss out on their holiday altogether.
"I think what we'll see instead is an accelerated increase in people going into self-catering, because it is the cheaper alternative to hotels," Mr Elder added.
