Before departure
Adhere to the recommendations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and check the travel advisories on the relevant Ministries of the Interior websites for the countries you plan to visit.
On location
Follow local dress codes and behavioral norms. In cultures with strict traditions, such as in many Asian countries, it's essential to respect local customs and act courteously. This helps avoid offending locals and ensures a smoother experience.
Should a problem arise
If you encounter problems in high-risk areas, immediately inform your family so they can assist with necessary actions such as filing complaints, contacting a lawyer, or arranging repatriation. Notify your embassy or consulate for support and assistance. Additionally, contact your travel insurance provider, as they can offer crucial help in emergencies, including repatriation.
Travel insurance is essential in high-risk areas to protect yourself and your companions in case of serious issues. Besides taking preventive measures, having insurance ensures you’re covered if something goes wrong.
