#Travel Insurance

Visa and AIG Philippines Insurance Inc announced the launch of new travel insurance featuring COVID-19 protection, exclusive to Visa Infinite cardholders in the Philippines. The travel insurance, which will be provided by AIG Philippines Insurance Inc., includes coverage for trip cancellations, travel inconveniences, and medical expenses including COVID-19 medical expenses and allowances. A first in the local payment landscape, COVID-19 insurance coverage is generally treated as an exclusion in current practice by insurance providers or charged at a high premium given the risk volatility arising from a new illness. 79, outbound Filipino travelers are required to present adequate travel and health insurance to cover disruptions and hospitalization in case of Covid-19 infections during their trip. Our study shows that luxury travel (46%) and transportation (38%) are the most popular searches online among affluent Filipino holidaymakers. Safety is a top priority for consumers thinking about the return to travel and this insurance will provide Filipinos with added peace of mind knowing they’ll be covered for Covid-19 related expenses," said Dan Wolbert, Visa Country Manager for The Philippines and Guam.
