John O'Roarke, managing director of LV= General Insurance, said: "We know that travel insurance isn't the most exciting part of going on holiday but it is an essential part of any foreign trip."Holidaymakers spend thousands of pounds on foreign holidays, and by getting travel insurance they are protecting themselves should the trip need to be cancelled or if the unexpected happens overseas."Earlier this week Thomson's parent company, travel agents TUI, claimed that sales of summer holidays are up nine per cent over the last six weeks compared with the same period last year. Ms Flint's papers also revealed that she plans to "announce a package of measures to assist first time buyers" today.
