A company that is part of Bermudian-based Coralisle Group Ltd is working with The Bahamas Government to provide overseas visitors with Covid-19 safe-travel insurance protection.

CG Atlantic Medical & Life, which is Bahamas-based, is launching a health insurance programme will enable tourists to visit the islands of The Bahamas confident that they have comprehensive insurance protection.

CG Atlantic was selected by The Bahamas Government last month to provide mandatory insurance protection for its tourists. The company said it had worked closely with The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism to customise solutions that meet the needs of visitors, including coverage for on-island medical expenses, medical evacuations, vacation interruption due to quarantine requirements, and repatriation.

Visitors can access the insurance programme, which starts on November 14, at The Bahamas Tourism website https://travel.gov.bs/international.

Naz Farrow, chief executive officer of Coralisle Group, which was formerly known as the Colonial Group, said: “The health and wellbeing of our clients, their loved ones and the people they work with are integral to the business mission of the Coralisle Group of companies. The safe-travel programme undertaken by CG Atlantic is a natural extension of our people-first practices and we are very proud of the work they are doing.”

CG Atlantic’s programme is an addition to the safe-travel regime the Bahamas Government has put in place to ensure the safety of its people, its visitors and the health of its economy.

Ms Farrow said: “Our CG Atlantic colleagues will continue to work with The Bahamas Government and the Ministry of Tourism to provide protection and support for tourists should the need arise.”
