IMG Travel Outlook Survey Reports International Travel in 2022 to Surpass Pre-Pandemic Levels

International Medical Group® (IMG®) recently conducted a Travel Outlook Survey that evaluated the 2022 travel plans and trends of nearly 800 IMG customers who previously traveled internationally. Results revealed that 96% of respondents plan to travel internationally in 2022, an 11% increase over pre-pandemic travel levels.

One clear conclusion can be drawn from the results: people are eager to get back to traveling. In fact, many travelers are planning to take multiple trips throughout the year, both internationally and domestically. Additionally, 53% of respondents are more likely to purchase a travel protection plan due to risks, concerns, and impacts of COVID-19. Perhaps now more than ever, travelers want to be prepared for the unexpected before and during their trip with a travel protection plan.

IMG offers a full line of travel protection plans (iTravelInsured) designed to protect travelers from financial losses should something unexpected happen before or during their trip. These plans provide varying levels of coverage for trip cancellation, baggage delay, trip interruption, medical benefits, and many other travel-related events and expenses.
