WARWICK, R.I., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer demand for group trip
insurance is on the rise, reports InsureMyTrip.com, the nation's leading
online provider of travel insurance; a fact largely attributed to the rapidly
growing trend toward group travel.

    "From family reunions to school and mission trips, more people than ever
are traveling as part of an organized group," says Jim Grace, industry expert
and President and CEO of InsureMyTrip. "Group coverage is one of the many
cost-saving benefits of traveling in numbers." If you are traveling with ten
or more people to the same destination, you are eligible for group insurance
coverage.
    "When traveling as part of a group one thing is certain," continues Grace,
"as the numbers in your party increase, so too do the odds that your travels
may be impacted in some fashion.  That's when travel insurance is no longer
just an option, it's a necessity." Trip Cancellation Package Policies and
Travel Medical Insurance Policies offer comprehensive coverage and are most
popular with many types of travel groups including:
    -- Wedding Groups
    -- Family Reunions
    -- Professional Association Meetings
    -- Business Incentive Events
    -- School Excursions
    -- Sporting & Athletic Events
    -- Religious/Church Pilgrimages

    Launched in 2003, InsureMyGroup.com is the original travel insurance
portal just for group travelers. InsureMyGroup.com provides both trip
cancellation as well as travel medical plans, so group travelers can rate,
compare, analyze and buy travel insurance all in a completely secure
environment.  "We have a simplified quoting process," explains Grace, "which
captures only the basic information needed to obtain a quote, and allows
groups to share their findings with one another via email. Once they are
prepared to purchase, they can complete the transaction online for their
entire group roster."

New security restrictions could hurt airlines

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tighter security measures at U.S. airports following an attempt to blow up a Detroit-bound jet could dampen enthusiasm for air travel, hurting the airline industry just as it seemed poised to recover from a period of bruising losses, some industry experts say.
