The African Travel and Tourism Association has partnered with insurance provider Battleface to cover travellers to regions of the continent which carry Foreign Office travel advisories.

Those using Battleface’s policy will be given 24/7 access to on-the-ground field agents to assist in emergencies and includes Covid-19 medical expenses for travellers aged 59 or under.

It will also cover medical evacuation and accidents, adventure sports and travel to isolated areas.

The partnership was announced after the ATTA, which represents tourism buyers and suppliers across 21 African nations, launched a petition to put pressure on the UK government to create travel corridors between the UK and African destinations.
