DAY TRIPS
Even if you are only going on a day trip to another country, accidents can happen. So please make sure you have adequate travel insurance.
TAKE CARE IN WATER
Bathing will cool you but remember that fatal accidents can happen very easily and in the most unexpected conditions. Adults should watch each other for signs of trouble when in water. Children should always be supervised by an adult who can swim well. Young children should never be left unattended near a stretch of water.
TAKE CARE ON THE ROADS
Traffic accidents are the major cause of death among travellers. Whether driver or pedestrian, always check on local traffic regulations.
