Over a quarter of Brits (27 per cent) are heading abroad this summer without any travel insurance, it has been revealed.
Research by Sainsbury's Travel Insurance found that the worst culprits were in the 55 to 64-year-old category, with 32 per cent admitting to neglecting purchasing cover.
Steve Johnson, head of insurance at Sainsbury's Finance, said the study results were "extremely concerning" and that it should be regarded as equally important as packing passports.
"Although in the current climate people are understandably looking at ways to reduce their outgoings, insurance is one thing that should not be omitted," he said.
More and more people who are about to get married are likely to combine their special days with holidays in luxury holiday resorts in Spain and beyond, it has been claimed.

Peter Staddon, spokesperson for Biba, also said that the increased affordability and accessibility of many locations are also having a bearing on many people's choice of wedding destination.
Couples might like to consider holidaying to La Manga Club for their wedding, as the resort has a host of wonderful settings for the big day.

However, short breaks to cities across Europe as have become popular in recent years could be taken less often by Britons who are struggling for money, Mr Atkinson maintains.

The tough training included two sets of six-successive 150 metre sprints.
In the 30 degree heat, the players then hit the gym before picking up their football training in the afternoon.
