Those who chose not to purchase travel insurance was usually due to the short length of their trips, did not see the relevance of travel insurance or that their destination is perceived to be low risk.Hence, there is a need to continue educating the public on measures that they can take to enjoy a safe and fuss-free overseas travel experience while safeguarding their interests.“Our campaign concept is based on Justice Bao, a respected judge familiar to many people through different television drama adaptations over the years. Leveraging humour through the use of colloquial terms in familiar Justice Bao court scenes, we aim to remind consumers of simple steps tips to take for a fuss-free and safe holiday,” Ong added.
