HIGH or EXTREME rated destinations
In general, any destination that has been given a HIGH or EXTREME rating by Control Risks Group should be avoided. It is recommended that journeys to these destinations be cancelled or deferred. The travel scheme will operate to provide cover for any such cancellations and or postponements in most circumstances.
If a journey goes ahead to a destination with a HIGH or EXTREME rating then generally cover will still operate. Because of the nature of the areas visited difficulties may arise, and in the event of a medical emergency we cannot guarantee being able to provide assistance in dangerous areas. Contact UMAL if you need clarification.
