The cost of John is low
When asked about the damage left by Hurricane John a few weeks ago, the insurance specialist reported that it affected other parts of the city and not so much the tourist part.
“To give you an idea of the disparity of damages that John generated compared to Otis In the case of insured assets we have in the second the amount was 39 thousand 343 million pesos and today we have practically claimed one billion pesos for John. This shows us that it really little affected the tourist area and the area that had insurance in the port. The damage caused by Jonh was due to water and sand that turned into mud and amounted to one billion,” said Alicia Rosas.

The above is in the midst of the wave of violence that has been experienced in the state for more than a month, which is why it maintains that the insured companies are following up on the cases. He added that in Mexico there is no awareness of protection for musical or sports shows, so their cancellations, for insurance companies, do not have an impact.
