Travelling abroad or exploring new places within India has always been exciting. However, the way people travel has changed completely in 2026. Today, Indian wanderers are not just booking flights, securing hotel rooms, and creating sightseeing itineraries; they are also prioritising their safety and financial security before stepping out of their homes.

According to recent industry data released by Care Health Insurance, there has been a massive surge in the purchase of travel insurance policies among Indian travellers in 2026. From young solo backpackers and digital nomads to families and senior citizens, more people than ever are choosing to protect their trips against unexpected events.
