COVID-19 is active, worldwide, with associated health risks and restrictions that could, without warning, affect and cause significant disruptions, cancellation and changes to any and all travel arrangements by way of COVID-19 outbreaks, sudden border closures, quarantine or lockdown orders, airport closures, government travel advisories, return home directives, hospitalization for treatment and other similar consequences; and consequences not reasonably foreseeable at this time.
Until further notice, there will be specific restrictions in place while travelling due to Covid 19. These restrictions may vary from provider to provider and country to country. In most situations, you will be required to wear a non-medical face mask that covers your nose, mouth and chin. This includes in airports, during flights and other transportation methods, and while in enclosed, public places with specific exceptions in place.
You may also be required to provide a verbal or written questionnaire regarding possible COVID-19 symptoms and exposure, a non-contact temperature check, and proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
Entry into other countries may also be subject to specific restrictions, such as Covid-19 testing, proof of vaccination, quarantines of up to 14 days upon arrival as well as possible entry bans for some countries, regardless of your citizenship. Fully vaccinated Canadians returning to Canada may avoid the 14 day quarantine provided certain conditions are met, please review the latest information here; https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid
While away, we recommend you monitor local media to stay informed of the COVID-19 situation where you are. It is also recommended that you register with the Registration of Canadians Abroad service with your up to date contact information should consular officials need to contact you in case of emergency. https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/registration
Please note that additional restrictions can be imposed suddenly and policies can change without notice. Flights can be suspended or reduced, your travel plans can be disrupted and it may be difficult for your to return home. It is your responsibility to stay informed of the situation.
Due to the impacts associated with the spread of COVID-19, the general conditions of your booking may change and be different from what was originally discussed at the time of booking. You are encouraged to consult with your travel professional or refer to individual supplier websites for the most up to date information and conditions.
Should your trip be cancelled by the supplier due to COVID-19, the value of your trip may be protected by a Future Travel Credit rather than a refund. Some suppliers may also allow you to cancel your travel arrangements, depending on your departure date, and provide you with a Future Travel Credit. The validity of your credit will be valid for at least 1 year from the date of cancellation, possibly longer. Finally, some suppliers may also offer protection plans that may allow you to cancel, change, or transfer your trip - these typically must be purchased at the time of booking and your agent will advise you of the availability of these protection plans before confirming your travel arrangements. These plans typically cannot be added after deposit is paid. There may also be additional Elgin Travel service fees associated with rebooking or cancellation of travel arrangements due to COVID-19.
Travel insurance for trip cancellation and interruption and emergency out-of-province medical insurance is highly recommended. Please note that standard travel insurance will not cover any claims caused by COVID-19 as it is a known event. There is additional insurance coverage available for purchase that will cover emergency medical expenses related to Covid 19 or cancellations for ANY reason with specific terms and conditions. As well, travel insurance does not cover cancellation claims where a future travel credit has been issued as this is not considered a financial loss. Please inquire with your travel professional if you are unsure of available coverage.
