When looking at a Country Travel Advice pages, you will find official information and advice from each organization on situations that may affect your safety and well-being abroad. It may also include other important travel issues such as security, local laws and culture, entry and exit requirements and health.
No matter where in the world you intend to travel, it is highly recommended to that you check the Travel Advice and Advisories twice: once when you are planning your trip, and again shortly before you leave. A region or country that you intend on visiting could become subject to a Travel Advisory and could affect your travel health insurance or your trip cancellation insurance.
Remember to do your homework before leaving since you definitely want you and your family to have a safe and exciting vacation adventure.
