battleface reveals findings of its first annual U.S. Consumer Consideration Report

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- battleface today released its first annual U.S. Travel Insurance Consideration Report. Conducted by Opinium Research, the new survey found that while 80 percent of Americans intend to travel domestically this year, only three in 10 Americans plan to consider protecting their trip investments by purchasing travel insurance. Respondents cited price and ability to customize coverage options as the top reasons for not considering protecting trip investments.
