Good news for hotels: Free Insurance with Covid-19 Coverage for international travelers
Corporate 13/01/2021
The Department of Tourism and Sports of the Andalusian Government will provide international travelers, free of charge, with the Andalusian International Travel Insurance, including Covid-19 coverage.
These are challenging times, and every gesture, every step taken to support the recovery of the sector and reactivate tourism mobility, must be fully exploited and seized. Fully immersed in the vaccination campaign, we all have our hopes set on 2021, which, despite not starting on the best note, is expected to be the year of the beginning of the exit from the health crisis and, consequently, the economic crisis. The desire to travel prevails, as indicated by the data we have, but fear and uncertainty are still too present. The uneven evolution of the pandemic, depending on the point on the map we decide to focus on, does not invite tranquility, and certain sending countries, such as Britain, Germany, or France, are at a critical point, also subject to strong mobility restrictions.
That's why this initiative launched by the Department of Tourism and Sports of the Andalusian Government is particularly relevant, clearly aimed at boosting the arrival of tourists to the region through a resource that conveys calm and security, sensations much needed at the moment, and from which undoubtedly many of our clients can benefit.
The Andalusian Government, under the name "Andalusian International Travel Insurance" and the slogan "Enjoy Andalusia with total security," will make available to all non-resident international travelers free insurance with Covid-19 coverage for stays in any type of regulated establishment in Andalusia (hotels, tourist apartments, pensions, hostels, aparthotels, campings, and rural houses) between January 1 and December 31, 2021, with the following coverage:
- MEDICAL, SURGICAL, AND HOSPITALIZATION EXPENSES FOR THE PATIENT AND HIS/HER COMPANION(S)
- MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION AND REPATRIATION EXPENSES
- TRANSPORTATION OR REPATRIATION
- TRANSPORTATION OR REPATRIATION OF DECEASED DUE TO COVID-19
- EXTENSION OF STAY EXPENSES
This is a measure we must therefore hold on to. Our intention is no other than to help this good news reach as many establishments as possible, echoing it through our communication channels, and participating to the fullest in its dissemination, in order to share the information we have with all of you.
