Santo Domingo, May 17, 2021. – To continue to guarantee visitors’ safety and give them the peace of mind they require to confirm their travel plans, Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism (MITUR) announced the extension of the free health coverage plan, 100% covered by the Dominican government, until June 12, 2021.

In addition to granting a free medical assistance plan for those visiting the country, Dominican Republic is one of the most advanced countries when it comes to vaccinating its citizens, which includes more than 50,000 employees in the tourism sector.

The health coverage plan, one of the most complete and effective plans in the world, is activated when checking in at the hotel and provides comprehensive care to visitors, with medical emergency coverage in case of COVID-19, outpatient visits, hospitalization, medication, extended stay due to medical emergency, specialist care, medication in case of hospitalization, a wide variety of health centers throughout the country, transportation in case of emergency, hospital expenses, and flight change penalty costs

As part of the security measures and protocols to take care of both visitors’ and hotel employees’ health, MITUR validates all hotels, airports, and tourist businesses’ operations with international certifications such as Safe Travels and Bureau Veritas. Likewise, visitors have quick and unrestricted access to the country, and airports and hotels have implemented protocols for the tourists’ safe reception, with designated areas for the care of COVID-19 patients within hotels.

For MITUR, the visitors’ well-being and safety are a priority, so it will continue to coordinate with other relevant authorities to continue strengthening the country’s preventive measures against coronavirus.
