Since travel is such a huge part of our world here on Oahu, we chatted with April to get her perspective on our current Covid 19 world and how it relates to her field of expertise!

Travel vendors/partners

A lot of vendors (airlines, tour companies, hotels, transfer companies) have to take this pandemic day by day, based on new rules and guidelines which can change in an instant. Travel is NOT currently restricted. Which means, you can still travel domestically and internationally, but there are quarantine rules in place, which is up to two weeks. So I have a lot of clients who are currently canceling their vacation reservations.

Travel Insurance

Unfortunately, travel insurance does not cover pandemics. For the reason of probably going out of business, because anything can be caused by a pandemic, fear especially. And reimbursing an entire travel trip based on “fear” is not in the best interest of a travel insurance company. Luckily, most of my clients have been reimbursed for the purchase of the travel insurance if they cancel their trip or travel insurance companies are allowing the clients to use the money towards a future trip.

I just want to explain what travel insurance is for. A lot of people thing travel insurance covers EVERYTHING and that’s not the case. You purchase travel insurance to protect yourself from anything unexpected. These are events like a death of an immediate family member, job loss, weather conditions (Act of God), etc. Reasons like, “I’m scared of getting coronavirus, so I’m not going to go” or “ I don’t feel like going on this trip anymore” are not covered.  

Future of travel – you can still travel, but with precaution

Travel will never be the same. You will always have to exercise caution while traveling. That might mean, we always have to wear a face mask while traveling on planes, even when we land in our vacation destinations. Washing your hands much more frequently, having hand sanitizer with you at all times and being aware of who is around you.
