WE ARE COMMITTED TO YOUR WELL-BEING

Insight’s COVID-19 Travel Protocols

Now more than ever, being able to travel the world with confidence is necessary. Book and travel with the knowledge and assurance of our global round-the-clock support and plans in place for anything that may arise.

Insight Vacations collaborated with the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) to align and create global protocols which were awarded the WTTC Safe Travels Stamp. This, coupled with our up-to-date knowledge on national and regional government authority regulations and the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, our on-trip standards focus on the wellbeing and happiness of our guests.

TRAVEL VACCINATION POLICY

Update August 2022

The wellbeing of our guests is our top priority. As part of this commitment, all guests travelling with Insight Vacations through December 31, 2022 are required to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, which may include a booster shot to keep the vaccination status current and valid, depending on the travel destination.   

Children not eligible for vaccination and/or booster at the time of travel must provide a verifiable and negative Covid-19 test result, taken within 72 hours prior to the start of the tour (taking time zones into consideration) for all tours departing until December 31, 2022. 

For guests travelling with Insight Vacations from 1 January 2023, Covid-19 vaccinations and boosters are highly recommended, but no longer required. 

Please note that regardless of time of travel guests will need to comply with specific vaccine and/or booster requirements imposed by airlines and/or authorities in the destination visited, as well as requirements for accessing restaurants and venues, which may be more restrictive than above.

It is guests’ responsibility to ensure that they comply at all times with these requirements. No refunds will be given if guests are unable to undertake some or all of their vacation due to their failure to comply with these requirements. 

This policy is subject to change at any time, without notice.

HYGIENE PROTOCOLS & DISTANCING

Smaller Groups, More Personal Space

With our smaller groups and uniquely reconfigured coaches with fewer seats, you benefit from more personal space.

Air Filters

Air within the coach is completely filtered and changed on average every 2 to 3 minutes, faster than most hospital operating theaters, which is mandated at 3 to 4 minutes. Our air filtration system is designed to create an efficient vertical and safe airflow that helps ensure impurities, like Covid aerosols, are not spread.

Quality Assurance

Quality checks will ensure that all travel partners meet local regulations and the established TTC, WTTC and WHO well-being protocols.

Hygiene Equipment

Hand sanitiser is accessible and freely available. We ask that you bring your own medical face mask as in some destinations it may be compulsory to wear a mask in certain settings or in public places. We may also ask you to wear a mask whilst aboard our motorcoaches. Your international carrier, departure airport or a transit airport may require that you wear a face mask, please check the requirements with your airline. Please note that airlines and other establishments may not accept washable cloth masks but only medical masks. On tour, in the case of an emergency, personal protective equipment will be distributed to you.

Sanitised Surfaces

All frequently touched surfaces inside your coach — including handrails, doors, tables, overhead lockers — plus your luggage handles, will be disinfected multiple times each day.

Priority Access

Skip the lines with priority access at landmark sites.

Always Up To Date

Our teams are always up to date and continue to adjust to the changing regulations from health authorities and local governments. They make changes behind the scenes so you are able to enjoy your tour.

Incident Response Protocol

Should an incident arise on tour, rest assured that we have protocols in place. We will direct distancing and coordinate with local medical support and testing. We will liaise with local authorities to follow directives, which will vary across countries, and support you every step of the way.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

COVID-19 WARNING

We have introduced these enhanced hygiene protocols – for you, our other guests, and our team members.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the World Health Organization and government health bodies, senior citizens and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.

We ask that you please take personal responsibility for your well-being. This begins with packing any personal protective equipment and sanitizers you require. Please adopt physical distancing and hygiene practices throughout your pre-tour travel arrangements and follow all health instruction whether physical signage, or requests from our professional staff once you are vacationing with us.

In choosing to travel with Insight Vacations, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.

Let’s help keep each other safe and healthy.
