With thousands of young people annually planning or embarking on foreign travels as a gap year between learning and work, part of their university courses or just to have fun, things going wrong and the need to make a holiday claim are far from their minds.
Of course, the vast majority of travellers have a wonderful time and return to the UK with a head full of memories, colourful souvenirs and a contacts book of new friends.
And it's sometimes those new ‘friends' who turn out to be the cause of difficulties which could lead to a holiday injury or illness claim.
Although it may be stating the obvious, illegal drugs are what they say ‘illegal' and indulging in their use, transport or sale, whether intentionally or not, can lead to police action, jail sentences and worse.
Drinking strong local alcohol may not be illegal in most countries but when under its influence travellers could unwittingly fall foul of local laws or act irresponsibly when drunk. There's also the danger of becoming prey to pickpockets or other criminals.
Accidents can occur when under the influence of drink or drugs but they can also happen if you take risks in visiting an out-of-the-way spot with your new friends and are unaware of perils such as uneven steps, water too shallow to dive into safely or slippery paths. Illnesses abroad can result from eating or drinking contaminated food or drink.
