Balearic Islands extend free COVID-19 insurance till year end

The Tourism Agency of the Balearic Islands (AETIB) has confirmed that its free COVID-19 insurance will be extended until December 31, 2021.

The insurance is provided by RACE insurance to all international visitors (non-residents) for stays at any regulated accommodation. Extension of the policy aims to restore traveller confidence and stimulate demand, especially targeting families during the October half term. 

The insurance covered in the case of a COVID-19 infection include: medical, surgical and hospitalisation expenses with a maximum limit of ?15,000, medical expenses for transportation and repatriation, as well as the costs of extending a stay in regulated accommodation for the policyholder and their companions. It covers costs resulting from the policyholder?s stay being prolonged due to self-isolation or quarantine because of COVID-19. A helpline service in English (+34 900 100 124) for tourists is also available and free of charge.
