Travel Information
Travel has become one the world’s biggest leisure industries and generates a sizeable income for many countries. It’s very common now to spend time abroad, however, finding yourself in an unfamiliar place isn’t always comfortable or safe and you could be at risk, either to your health and personal safety, or regarding your personal effects.
Situations continue to change from one country to the next as their political climate or status evolves, and therefore we cannot guarantee up-to-date advice on the safety aspects of all destinations. Instead we can direct you to a number of frequently updated websites which have current information on your chosen destination.
We suggest that you keep well informed of a destination before planning your trip or deciding your destination. The media often reports on the critical places of a country and neglects to show that tourist spots may be functioning as normal. It’s a good idea to judge by the number of other visitors going, and to use your own discretion and alert judgement during your trip.
The Foreign & Commonwealth Office website, published by the British government, is a highly recommended and accurate resource for travel advisory warnings and general information. Here you will find up-to-date travel advice regarding many hotsopts and other countries.
