NAIROBI: Tourism industry players have welcomed a new local travel insurance policy for tourists amid rising insecurity. The partnership between AIG Kenya Insurance and Amref Flying Doctors will provide an inbound travel insurance cover for guests visiting Kenya on tourism related activities. The cover includes terrorism exposures to people visiting Kenya.
Kenya is regarded more prone to travel related risks than other countries in the region with a number of western countries advising their citizens against all but essential travel to the Kenyan coast and areas bordering Somalia. In addition, the recent Ebola outbreak in parts of West Africa had adverse effects on inbound travel to Kenya though there has been no single case of the disease in the country.
