Off-Season Travel: When To Go & How Much You Can Save Your Clients

The “regular” season keeps expanding, but off-season travel is still a thing. Sending clients to destinations during the off season gives them access to popular sightseeing venues with smaller crowds, and can save them a bundle.

InsureMyTrip.com recently analyzed data for insurance policies sold for trips that departed Nov. 2022 through Oct. 2023 to showcase just how deep the savings can be in key destinations.

Broadly speaking, Europe (Italy, the UK, France, and Spain, combined) is most popular between June and August with an average trip costing clients about $7,300. On the flipside, visiting Europe between November and April costs on average $4,000 – a nearly $3,000 savings.
