"Once your trip has started, you want to be able to enjoy it! Getting sick or injured can quickly derail your fun. Keep your journey on track by following these travel tips.
#1 Be considerate of other people’s health. If you are sick, do NOT travel.
- Handwashing is one of the best ways to protect yourself & your family from getting sick. Wash your hands with soap and water often, especially before eating.
- If soap and water aren’t available, clean hands with hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.
- Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you need to touch your face, make sure your hands are clean.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
- Try to avoid contact with people who are sick.
- If you are sick, stay home or in your hotel room, unless you need medical care.
#2 Road accidents
Accidents are the number one cause of injury and death among Americans while traveling.
- Always wear a seat belt and, don’t ride in vehicles that do not have them.
- When possible, hire a local driver. Ask your hotel for a trustworthy driver or taxi company.
- Do not ride with a driver who has been drinking.
- Do not drink and drive.
- Do not travel on overloaded buses or minibuses.
- Avoid traveling at night.
- Try to travel with others, not alone..."
