14 August 2007 Travellers warned over beach theft
Holidaymakers skipping the variable British weather and heading abroad to spend some time on sunny beaches in Europe have been urged to remain vigilant regarding the risk of theft.
Research from Halifax Travel Insurance reveals that Britons experience 1.4 million incidents of holiday theft every year, with 13 per cent taking place while travellers are at the beach or by the pool.
The firm adds that value of the average beach bag has rocketed in recent years, with holiday totes now including mobile phones, MP3 players and digital cameras.
Paul Birkhead, underwriting manager at the annual travel insurance provider, said: "Long gone are the days when the contents of a beach bag included no more than a towel, sun cream and a few warm sandwiches."
He added that modern beach bags are a fashion statement for holidaymakers, often containing a myriad of accessories for their owner.
In May 2007, multi trip insurance firm swiftcover.com reported that 88 per cent of Britons will take a mobile phone abroad with them, while 43 per cent will carry a portable digital music player.
