Haiti (TIF) August 2019

We've recently had quite a few enquiries in regards to customer's travelling to Haiti. 
 
The Foreign & Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) has advised against all but essential travel to Haiti, due to the current unstable and dangerous security situation. 
 
There have been sporadic, unpredictable and sometimes violent demonstrations, protests and roadblocks in Port au Prince and throughout Haiti since July 2018. The movement of goods and people into and within the country is often disrupted due to blocked roads and security incidents. As a consequence, there are sometimes fuel and food shortages.
 
TIF have advised the following in regards to this instance, "Our stance on Haiti is the same as the FCDO, no cover for all but essential travel. If a customer states is essential, we would want to know why and the reasons behind this... We would not be willing to offer refunds on a policy but will allow them to shift the insurance to another trip or dates. The customer would not be able to submit a cancellation claim for this reason, as it is not one of our cancellation reasons."
 
The only exception to this is, the port of Labadee in Haiti. As Royal Caribbean own this port.
