What happens if a guest shows symptoms of COVID-19 while on a trip?

Experi will follow our existing policy of taking care of the guest as we would any sick guest. Our team, in conjunction with local authorities, will work with the guest to determine if testing is necessary and will follow local policies regarding isolation, quarantines, or other testing measures.

Rest assured while on the program Experi will help to navigate local logistics, but expenses for medical costs (if any), treatment, self-isolation, or other items outside the trip are the guest's responsibility. These may be offset by personal travel insurance if purchased separately in advance. Consult with your travel insurance provider for specific information.
