Changes in Cuba

We do not normally focus on particular countries in this blog, but I just wanted to let you know some information that is very important for you if your next holiday is in Cuba.

 Since the start of May, travellers to Cuba must have comprehensive travel insurance, including medical insurance, before entering the country.  You will be expected to present a copy of your insurance on arrival in Cuba.

 In exceptional casesif  you are unable to show proof of cover on arrival, you will be directed to an office at the airport or other port of entry where you will be able to purchase standard cover from Cuban insurance companies. You will need to present your travel insurance documents when you arrive in Cuba

Now obviously you don’ t want that hassle of sorting out your insurance when you have arrived in Cuba and are ready to start your holiday. Instead, it is probably a good idea to double check that sorting out your travel insurance is something that is on your long list of things to prepare before you go away. Remember to check the small print when you book your insurance, because some insurers may exclude Cuba as a destination. You should also check that your policy covers you all for the activities you want to undertake.
