The proposed policy is expected to include guarantees that help passengers return home even in the event of travel disruptions, addressing one of the major concerns among international travelers.

Industry leaders believe these initiatives will strengthen the UAE's appeal as a global tourism destination by providing visitors with added security and peace of mind. With air traffic steadily recovering and the country welcoming thousands of international travelers daily, the insurance offerings are expected to play a key role in encouraging more tourists to visit the UAE's major destinations, including Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
