The Japanese government announced on Tuesday (26th) that starting from this Friday (30th), flights from China, Hong Kong and Macau will only be allowed to use Tokyo Narita, Haneda, Osaka Kansai and Nagoya Chubu Airports to Japan.

The Hong Kong Federation of Insurers pointed out that currently the general travel insurance on the market will cover "flight delay or change of itinerary, cancellation or early termination of the trip" as listed insurable events, but only for individual reasons, such as machine failure, bad weather and Natural disasters, etc.

However, government decrees on epidemic prevention are excluded, and travel insurance cannot provide relevant protection.


For the same reason, even if the travel insurance policy provides extended coverage for the new coronavirus, such as medical expenses due to the diagnosis, early termination or cancellation of the trip, this measure is an epidemic prevention government order, and is not a risk that travel insurance can cover. Exclusions are listed.

The Union recommends that tourists should check with service providers, such as airlines, and make appropriate arrangements.

Xuan Guoquan: Some airlines arrange auspicious planes to take Hong Kong people back to Hong Kong

After the Japanese government announced the relevant arrangement on Tuesday, Xuan Guoquan, the executive director of EGL Tours in Japan, described the new policy as coming suddenly, and the industry was also taken aback. The Hokkaido group returning to Hong Kong will depart as scheduled, and can fly directly to and from Hong Kong and Hokkaido.

Xuan Guoquan said that according to what he learned from Japan and airlines, the latest restrictions only prohibit flights from China, Hong Kong and Macau from landing at airports other than the four airports, but flights can use all airports to leave as usual. It is planning to arrange "Jiji" to go to Okinawa, Sapporo, Hokkaido and other airports to pick up Hong Kong people back to Hong Kong.

Regarding the latest entry arrangements of the Japanese government, Cathay Pacific said earlier that it is seeking more information and assessing the situation. It will continue to update customers and the community through its website and will provide further information this afternoon (28th).

Hope government strives for Hong Kong to be removed from restrictions

Xuan Guoquan, the executive director of Dongying Travel in Japan, said on the radio program this morning that the Japanese side announced the latest arrangement on Tuesday evening, which suddenly surprised the industry, and then they had to act quickly: "Arrange the guests to return to Hong Kong. Most importantly, do your best.”

Xuan Guoquan hopes that the Hong Kong government can negotiate with the Japanese authorities to delay the implementation of the restrictions, or even remove Hong Kong from the relevant restrictions. He estimates that the new regulations of the Japanese government are made in response to the large number of mainland tourists traveling to Hong Kong during the Lunar New Year. Therefore, it is not ruled out that there will be a "turning point" after the Lunar New Year: "The most strange thing is that you (Japan) are sent to Tokyo and Osaka again, and the same department is so urgent that it will be carried out on the 30th?"
