Jamaica and Saudi Arabia collaborate on disaster insurance for tourism workers
What happened
Jamaica is working with Saudi Arabia to create an innovative insurance arrangement designed to protect tourism workers from the financial impact of a disaster. This proposed initiative aims to provide financial support to workers both before and after a disruptive event to help them recover their livelihoods. The arrangement plans to use scientific assessments and technology to trigger payments, moving away from conventional insurance claims processes.
