Foreign Travel Advice - Keep up to Date

Travelling to a destination and want to know the prevalent risks? The first place you should look is the UK FCO Country Advice website:

And you don’t need to take just HMG’s word. Clicking on the following link opens up a portal to the travel advice sites of other governments, such as France, Germany, the US, Canada and Australia.

By clicking here you can even have the FCO deliver the latest business travel alerts direct to you inbox.

Remember that if you are a UK company, you have an extraterritorial duty of care to staff travelling overseas, so, in the absence of an outsourced travel advice provider, you should post these links on your intranet.
