travel insurance is evolving rapidly to keep up with changing travel habits of modern travellers seeking unique experiences and adventure amid a post-Covid travel boom.
A new breed of policies now caters to adventurous and niche activities like golfing and scuba diving besides offering emergency coverage for pre-existing conditions, home-to-airport coverage, upgrading to business class due to health reasons and even pet care.
For instance, some insurers are offering coverage that reimburses golfers for the cost of a hole-in-one celebration — a grand party a golfer must host if he/she manages to hit the ball from the tee all the way to the hole in a single stroke.
«If you are a golfer and you hit a hole-in-one while playing abroad, tradition says you must throw a grand party, and that can get expensive. The insurer covers those costs, so there is a policy to protect your hobby by covering that celebration,» said Abhash Pathak, lead-travel insurance at Go Digit General Insurance.
That said, a hole-in-one rarely happens in golf and Go Digit has yet to see a claim for that.
