Safety

when travelling to an unfamiliar environment remain alert for potential hazards. Holiday makers are more susceptible to pickpocketing, theft or loss of personal effects. Watersports, outdoor activities and driving place you at greater risk of having an accident. Language barriers and strange routines can also result in missed travel arrangements or problematic bookings. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance for you or your family.
