The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the travel insurance market in the first half of 2020 due to declining business conditions, following stringent lockdown measures imposed by government organizations. In 2020, the demand for travel insurance decreased owing to the fear of the virus and severe travel restrictions, greatly reducing the need for travel services throughout the world. The industry is expected to recover in the coming years after the introduction of customized travel insurance policies. Increased awareness of travel insurance among individuals, additional benefits of insurance coverage, and the reopening of tourist places are poised to provide various market opportunities.
