Arusha. The Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar (RGZ) has used the Karibu-KiliFair 2026 international tourism exhibition to showcase the benefits of its mandatory travel insurance scheme, pointing to the repatriation of American influencer Ashley Robinson’s remains as a recent example.
Officials said the insurance package, administered by the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation (ZIC) under the mandatory travel insurance programme introduced on October 1, 2024, fully covered the cost of returning Robinson’s body to the United States following her death while on holiday in Zanzibar earlier this year.
Speaking to journalists at the ZIC pavilion at Magereza Grounds on Saturday, June 7, 2026, the corporation’s Sales Officer, Mr Abdul-Halim Muhammad, said the scheme continues to provide critical support to tourists facing unexpected challenges during their stay in Zanzibar.
