UAE residents plan to save big for summer season travel as tensions in the region continue
As the summer season settles in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), travel climbs up the priority list for Emiratis. Many of them are willing to save well over Dh11,000 (or $3,000) per person for such holidays, according to the new
Allianz Partners Travel Index
.
The travel index claims that as many as 34% of UAE respondents said they were looking to save Dh11,000 ($3,000) or more for those trips. Meanwhile, another 17% said they plan to set aside Dh9,200 to Dh11,000 to execute their travel plans, according to a Gulf News report.
The Allianz Travel Index also projected that many UAE residents are emphasising travelling abroad during the year. This becomes crucial as global travel experiences a shaky phase due to the Middle East tensions triggered by the Israel-Iran conflict.

The conflict had led to cancellations of across-the-board service on regional routes by the airline. The Allianz survey, however, revealed that the Middle East remains among the top destinations for inward travel. 'Recent tensions in parts of the Middle East may lead some travellers to adjust or delay certain plans,' an Allianz spokesperson said.
'But outbound travel from the UAE is still expected to be driven by strong demand for leisure, family visits, and business travel. We continue to closely monitor global developments to support travellers with timely information, flexible protection options, and peace of mind wherever their journeys take them,' the spokesperson further stated.

The fliers and holiday goers are taking out travel insurance more than that in the past, even when their end destination visas do not require them to do so.
Travel insurance comes in handy whenever fliers face flight delays, sudden health issues, etc. It is also pertinent to mention that they don't come into play when airlines announce cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances, such as conflict breaking out.
