Some of the most attractive tourist destinations can be bad for your health if you don’t know what the risks are and how to avoid them. Terrorism, war, riots, crime, corruption and the occasional volcano (like the ones currently erupting in Ecuador and on the Caribbean island of Montserrat) can quickly ruin a vacation, if not a life. The most extreme risks are so well known, and so rare, that tourists are unlikely to encounter them: kidnappings in Yemen, the beheadings in Serbia, etc. Long-running civil wars have turned some interesting countries into no-go zones; Algeria’s underground conflict is so vicious that even hardened journalists don’t travel there. Although the risks are vastly lower in most of the world, vigilance -- is still needed. Mexico, for example, is generally a safe place for tourists, despite some well- publicized violence and corruption. Yet an unvigilant visitor strolling the streets late at night might fall victim to an express kidnapping." In which the victim is forced from one ATM machine to another before and after midnight in order to get two days’ worth of maximum cash withdrawals.
Fortunately, reliable information about travel risks is far more accessible than it used to be, partly because of the rise of the Internet. The State Department, which is sometime accused of not keeping Americans adequately informed, now reco "rds 150,000 visits a day to its Web site for travelers (
http://tmvel.
state, gov). The department offers consular "information sheets" containing routine security information on every country in the world. It issues "travel warnings" that urge Americans to avoid certain countries; currently 29 of those are in force, including such longstanding enemies of the United States as Iran, Iraq and Libya (but not Cuba). The department also issues "public announcements" on "significant" security risks in other nations; about a dozen of them are in effect.’ Some of the advice is surprising. A public announcement posted late last year warns of a possible "terrorist attack" against Americans in orderly Austria. [br] Which is not one of the risks facing tourists?
