'Know before you go'
Foreign Office travel advice
‘Know Before You Go’ is an ongoing campaign with around 300 travel industry partners to help Brits to stay safe and healthy abroad.
The campaign was launched by the Foreign Office in 2001 to promote these key messages:
- get adequate travel insurance
- check the FCO’s country travel advice
- research your destination – know the local laws and customs
- visit your GP as soon as possible before travelling
- check your passport is in good condition and valid and you have all necessary visas
- make copies of important travel documents and/or store them online using a secure data storage site
- tell someone where you are going and leave emergency contact details with them
- take enough money and have access to emergency funds
Every year thousands of British travellers seriously regret not taking these simple steps.
