FAQS
Whether you are traveling for work or leisure, it is essential to be aware of the health risks of travel before heading to your desired destination. During travel, you may experience uncommon diseases that are not prevalent in your home country, and some countries you wish to visit may have specific preventive measures and requirements such as vaccinations to protect your population. Here are some tips to prepare for a safe journey:
Stay up to date with health updates
It is recommended to visit the websites of the Centers for Disease Control, the Network, the National Center for Travel Health, and the World Health Organization for up-to-date information on disease outbreaks. These sites are regularly updated with country-specific travel information.
Get information before you travel
Foreign ministries and health authorities usually publish information on vaccinations or health conditions necessary to enter a country. For example, the WHO advises travelers to Africa and South America to get a yellow fever vaccine, a common viral disease in those mosquito-borne areas. Make sure you get the required vaccinations before traveling to your destination.
Current Health Situation
Some individuals are more likely than others to be infected or have worsened health, such as pregnant women, children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. They should consult a doctor before making any decisions about traveling abroad. Depending on global health updates, a doctor may advise postponing travel. For example, pregnant women are currently advised not to travel to Zika virus-infected areas.
Consult a doctor
All doctors recommend making an appointment at the hospital's travel medicine clinic when preparing to travel abroad. Travel medicine clinics provide information, consultations, vaccinations, and medications needed based on a travel destination. It is advisable to visit your doctor 4 to 6 weeks before the travel date and bring a copy of your vaccination history, a list of current medications, and an itinerary, and be ready to answer questions about your current state of health and planned activities during your trip.
Maintaining blood circulation and hydration
During the journey, it is necessary to stand and walk around to stimulate circulation and stretch your legs. Sitting for long periods can lead to deep vein thrombosis, which is the formation of blood clots in veins. Compression socks may help maintain normal blood flow and reduce the risk of clotting. It is also important to stay hydrated by drinking too much water and avoiding caffeinated drinks. When arriving at your destination, it is recommended to sleep for 20 to 30 minutes to allow your body to adapt to local time.
Travel Personal Security Essentials
First, it is always necessary to be aware of the local laws and regulations of the country you visit. Laws can vary greatly from country to country, and it is easy to get into trouble if you are not familiar with local laws.
Secondly, you should be careful when dealing with money. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash, and use pre-charged credit cards or travel cards when possible. You should also be careful when using ATMs, always make sure that no one is watching you while entering your PIN.
Third, you should be careful when dealing with strangers. While locals can be a great source of information and advice, you should be careful when dealing with people you don't know. Avoid disclosing personal or financial information to strangers, and avoid going to remote sites with people you don't know well.
Fourth, you should be aware of potential health risks. Before you travel, make sure you have received all the necessary vaccinations, and that you carry with you any medications you may need. You should also be careful when eating and drinking, especially in countries that may be known for public health problems.
Fifth, copies of personal documents such as passports and visas are vital. The traveler must prepare additional copies and keep them in a safe place away from the original documents. Digital technologies can also be used to store electronic images of documents.
You should be aware of your environment. Avoid places that look unsafe or suspicious, always make sure you know how to return to your place of residence. You should also be careful when using public transport, and make sure you know the right way.
Protect yourself from theft and travel fraud
Leaving valuables in the hotel is a smart decision.
Although some people may disagree with us in this view, our experience suggests that most thefts occur while you walk around the streets. Hotels are a relatively safe environment compared to public spaces and streets where you may be walking around. So, you'd rather pack valuables in your bag and leave them in your hotel. Some hotels may offer safe cupboards at the front desk or in your private room that you can take advantage of. However, if you intend to store the cash in a safe cabinet, make sure to put it in writing close it well, and try to split the amount where the bulk of it is inside the safe.
Avoid excess review of your physical property
Showing off physical property is not only an inappropriate offer, it can also put you at risk of theft. Do not make a permanent offer to the entire world of your precious property. When you decide to take a photo using a precious camera, keep it safe after taking the moment. This also applies to precious accessories such as mobile phone accessories. Everyone should treat their physical property with caution especially while traveling, as we often carry valuable things with us such as mobile phones and cameras.
Choosing Safe Transportation
Choosing safe transportation is an essential step to prevent theft. It is preferable to avoid unreliable uses and ensure the credibility of carriers. Passengers must also secure their luggage by checking it thoroughly and carrying it from the front side of their chest.
Be careful in tourist places
Tourist places are a major target for thieves, so travelers should be careful while visiting them. It is preferable not to go into remote areas alone and stay away from dark places late at night. While we are all adults and independents, the night brings with it additional challenges when you are in an unfamiliar environment. Traveling alone at night can increase your exposure to theft. When you arrive at your destination late at night, it is preferable to use a taxi to commute to your hotel. This enhances your security and reduces risk exposure.
Use electronic funds with caution
Using indirect funds, via credit cards, is a wise step for travelers to achieve a safe and convenient travel experience. Avoid carrying large amounts of paper money, as this can be tempting for thieves. Instead, it is preferable to use credit cards or electronic payment services, which provide a safe and effective way to make transactions. Although ATMs may be a popular way to get cash, you should avoid using them in remote places where there may be a greater risk of theft. To ensure the confidentiality of your card information, you should avoid entering your personal information into public places, and check the security of communication when using public internet networks to avoid the possibility of wire fraud.
How do we act if we get robbed?
Despite all these precautions, travelers can be robbed of valuables while on holiday abroad. But don't panic and don't get into a state of shock. First, it is advised to assess everything that has been stolen and determine the extent of the damage caused. After that, he prefers to talk to a local resident to get the exact address of the place where the items were stolen, and then head to the nearest police station.
Upon arrival at the Centre, a detailed report should be submitted to the Head of the Centre, detailing all the stolen elements and the exact location of the incident. Once the head of the station confirms that the report has been submitted and that they will do their best in the investigation, a copy of the report must be requested. This version is necessary to submit claims to your insurer, as the report can help speed up and facilitate the process of compensating for theft losses
