Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy invited the ambassadors of the 60 [as yet un named] countries sending the most tourists to Turkey, to Antalya & shared with them the measures taken by Turkey for safe tourism.
The Minister said Turkey would start offering a health insurance package covering Covid-19 as of July 1. He added it would be possible for tourists to buy specific insurance policies at airports while buying tickets from contracted airline companies before passport control or else online and via tour operators.
According to the info provided by the Minister fees for the insurance policies will be as follows:
– the policy covering health expenditure up to 3 thousand euros will cost 15 EUR .
– the policy covering health expenditure up to 5 thousand euros will cost 19 EUR .
– the policy covering health expenditure up to 7 thousand euros will be bought at 23 EUR .
.
The Minister also stated that Covid-19 test centres at tourist airports, Istanbul and Antalya to be in the first places, would be operational within 2-3 days and added that there would be isolated apartments or blocks for positive cases in every hotel.
He said, “Our guests will be able to stay in these rooms. If the treatment phase takes longer than the booking period, which is certainly a possibility, in this case our hotels will offer extra days free of charge. That goes for transit passengers as well”.
