while it all may seem a bit much….we think it is a good idea to be prepared for all eventualities so like the saying goes
Travelling with kids can be rewarding.
The thrill of the adventure. The excitement of exploring.
Travelling with kids can be a educational experience and enriching. It too can be risky.
It is vital we remain aware of potential risks. Preparing for safe travel is key to less stressful travel.
Safety precautions can help to keep your family safe when arriving at a new destination.
First and foremost is vital to be well researched and well informed about the country you are travelling to.
Know and respect the local customs and laws.
Knowing the local dress codes, laws and customs means your visit to the country will be more positive.
Your presentation such as your dress will mean you will look less like a tourist. Not being recognized as a tourist will reduce your likelihood of being a target of pickpockets, etc.
Keep up to date with the travel advice and bulletins for your destination.
Just as you wouldn’t go to the shops to buy groceries without knowing what you need you shouldn’t go to any country without checking it’s safe.
It is vital to be aware of any safety issues or announcements in regards to the country of your destination before you go. This is made very easy today with the development of travel advice websites and Government bulletins websites.
Before you head off, and even before you plan your trip, click onto the travel websites and check the latest travel warnings, alerts and advice.
With the Government websites in your country you can also register your travel plans with them so they can help you should there be an event/incident or you need assistance.
We highly recommend this as a great precaution given the climate today.
