Hello, I have a planned dive trip with my 16 year old daughter to the Philippines in June. I have to make my final payment for the trip on March 1st. I am getting concerned about the Coronavirus affecting my trip. If the virus becomes widespread in Philippines, I may be uncomfortable going on my trip, particularly with my only daughter! On the other hand, maybe the Coronavirus outbreak will be long over by June and it won't be an issue.
Standard trip insurance won't cover me if I cancel the trip because of fear of contracting the Coronavirus. "Cancel for any reason" insurance is available, but is expensive (about 10% the cost of the trip), and may only reimburse 50-75% of the trip's cost.
Any thoughts on my Dilemma? I still have 2 weeks to cancel the whole trip without financial penalty.
Thanks for the advice!
Doug
