Insight's Covid-19 travel protocols
As part of The Travel Corporation (TTC), we’ve worked closely with theWorld Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) and the World
Health Organisation (WHO) to guide and co-create the “New Normal Safe and Seamless Traveller Journey” global protocols.
With our comprehensive approach outlined below, you can have peace of mind that when your clients travel with us, they’re in

Hygiene protocols and distancing
Pre-Trip Health Declaration
All team members and guests will complete a personal well-being declaration before joining
their trip. If a guest has tested positive for COVID-19 (or is travelling with someone who has),
they will not be able to join the trip until cleared as “fitfor travel” by a medical professional.
Sanitised Surfaces
All frequently touched surfaces inside the coach — including handrails, doors, tables, overhead lockers
— plus guests luggage handles, will be disinfected multiple times each day.
Air Filters
Our coaches are equipped with air filters that are inspected and cleaned daily and replaced regularly.
The on-board filters help purify the air as you travel.
Quality Assurance
The Well-being Director is responsible for the quality assurance of all hotels, restaurants and
other venues guests visit during each journey. Quality checks will ensure that all travel partners
meet local regulations and the established TTC, WTTC and WHO well-being protocols.
Hygiene Equipment
Hand sanitiser is accessible and freely available. We ask that guests bring their own face mask and
gloves, but in the case of emergency, personal protective equipment will be distributed to them.
Smaller Groups - More Personal space
With smaller groups, guests benefit from more personal space, and our uniquely reconfigured
coaches offer twice as much space for each traveller.
Priority access
With priority access at landmark sites, guests skip the queues and have greater opportunity to
maintain their physical distance while sightseeing.
24/7 Incident Response
Always up-to-date
Our teams are always up to date and continue to adjust to the changing regulations from
health authorities and local governments. They make changes behind the scenes so guests are
able to enjoy their trip.
Incident Response Protocol
Should an incident arise on trip, rest assured that we have protocols in place. We will direct
distancing and coordinate with local medical support and testing. We will liaise with local
authorities to follow directives, which will vary across countries, and step of the way.
On Trip Arrival and Welcome
We will be adapting arrival times to ease congestion between groups at the beginning of trips so that your
Travel Director or Travelling Concierge can conduct a welcome briefing, covering what can be expected on your vacation and well-being precautions.
Your Travel Director or Travelling Concierge
Travel Directors and Travelling Concierges will submit a Self-Health Declaration prior to the trip as well as post
trip. Our industry leading training has been adapted and enhanced to include a dedicated module on dealing with
Covid-19.

In this new, fast changing COVID-19 era, we have implemented elevated hygiene and distancing practices to meet new requirements put forth by local governments and health authorities, including the World Health Organization
(WHO). These details can be found on our website Insight Vacations Well Being
As we adapt to this new world we continue to execute numerous new measures throughout our various guest experiences with the best care and service possible, to ensure optimum health and well-being for our guests and our team. These new protocols will be adapted and adjusted as needed, in a timely manner, as governments define and introduce what will be required in each country. As these directives become known and if your group is affected, we will work with your agent to achieve the best outcome keeping the well-being and peace of mind of our guests as our top priority.
