Leadway Assurance Arrival Pack Targets Festive Travelers

In Short

Leadway Assurance has launched a seasonal travel insurance product called the Arrival Pack.

It targets Nigerians in the diaspora and international visitors coming into Nigeria during festive periods like Detty December.

The cover includes road accidents, medical expenses, loss of belongings, and third-party liability.

What Happened

Leadway Assurance says it built the Arrival Pack to match the jump in international travel into Nigeria during major holidays.

The company cited passenger movement data showing 4.33 million international passengers in 2024, rising to 4.85 million in 2025, about 12% growth.

The Arrival Pack was launched in Lagos. Leadway executives said the product is meant to give visitors “peace of mind” while also protecting the businesses that serve them.

The insurance is positioned for high-activity periods when people travel more, attend events, go out at night, and stay in hotels and short-lets. These activities increase exposure to common risks.

Leadway said the product covers road and motor accidents, hospital and pharmacy bills, loss of personal belongings, and third-party liabilities. Third-party liability means you are covered if you accidentally cause harm or damage to another person or their property.

Why It Matters

Travel insurance is still not a default purchase for many travelers into Nigeria, especially for short visits. A seasonal bundle could make the decision simpler, especially for people flying in for a few weeks.

For Nigeria’s tourism and hospitality ecosystem, more travelers with cover can reduce the financial shock of emergencies. That can matter for hotels, event venues, transport operators, and other service providers that deal with visitor incidents.

For the local Insurtech market, products like this show insurers leaning into specific moments, not just year-round policies. That can help insurance adoption if pricing and claims processes are clear and fast.
