Dominican authorities extend complimentary traveler health insurance

Santo Domingo.– The Dominican Republic extended its free travel insurance program for all tourists arriving in the country by air until April 30^th, 2021, Tourism Minister David Collado announced.

According to the official, the free assistance plan has been a success, as it contributes to position the Dominican Republic worldwide as a safe tourist destination, “where all kinds of experiences can be enjoyed with the peace of mind that there is a perfectly prepared medical system to care for visitors in case of any contingency at no cost to them.”
