FCO urges gap year travellers to get insurance by Cheap Flights Booker UK

The growing trend towards adventure travel to exotic destinations means travel insurance is more important than ever.
That is according to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), which is seeing a rise in the number of cases of Britons abroad in distress, and particularly youngsters who are opting to take time out rather than take their chances in the contracting graduate jobs market.
With new research from the government department finding that 41% of UK nationals taking gap years fail to take out travel insurance before heading overseas, Nigel Baker, HM Ambassador to Bolivia has advised against cutting corners in this area.
"A large majority of the Britons that come to Bolivia are backpackers and while most have a brilliant time, students in particular can be vulnerable," he said.
"For many it"s the first overseas trip they take without their parents and they are often actively looking for an exotic adventure that can lead to problems for a small minority."
Through the FCO"s "Know Before You Go" service, travellers are able to get up-to-date information on their destinations before they jet off as well as benefit from health and safety tips.
