Source – The Independent
Date – 3rd March 2007
As tourists and travellers seek out ever more remote and unvisited destinations they increasingly find themselves in areas where they simply don’t have the skills or information to guarantee their own safety, but you don’t have to go to the remote and bandit ridden north of Ethiopia to put your own safety in danger, common destinations have their own threats.
Travelling is and should remain one of your life’s best and most memorable experiences, every corner of the world has fascinating sights, sound, smells and spectacles, but increasingly people are pushing their own boundaries are realising that they are under prepared for what they face when they arrive.
We appreciates that the average person could be scared to death if they were presented with all the facts relating to their chosen destination, civil unrest, theft, kidnapping, disease, natural disasters, war, industrial accidents and every day accidents are just the tip of the iceberg. But we are not here to scare you we are here to present these fact and figures in context and show you that most of the world is as safe as your home town, if you approach it in the right manner and prepare effectively for your forthcoming adventure. We want everyone attending our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety and Awareness workshop not only to leave feeling more confident, but to be excited about the adventure they are about to face. We want you to return home with just tales of fun and new experiences rather than horror stories.
