Know Before You Go
Practical travel-security guidance for individuals and families.
Travel Security Guide
Practical travel-security guidance from the moment you prepare to leave home until the moment you return.
Travel should be enjoyable. But good preparation involves more than passports, tickets, accommodation and insurance — it also includes personal safety, hotel security and journey awareness.
Read it on your phone, tablet or computer and keep it available while travelling.
Many people spend weeks planning a holiday but only minutes thinking about personal security.
Where are you going?
What risks should you consider?
Is your home properly secured before you leave?
What should you check when you arrive at your hotel or apartment?
How would your family respond if you became separated?
What would you do if your telephone, passport or belongings disappeared?
When you return home, what should you check before simply walking back through your front door?
These are questions worth considering before something happens. Secure World Travel was created to help travellers prepare.
Travel security begins before you reach the airport.
The guide takes you through the different stages of travelling and encourages you to think about security throughout the journey.
Before You Leave
Preparing your home, important documents, communications and travel arrangements.
Airport and Journey Security
Maintaining awareness while travelling through airports, stations and other busy transit environments.
Hotel and Accommodation Security
Assessing your hotel, apartment or other accommodation and understanding what to check before settling in.
While You're Away
Personal awareness, protecting belongings and making informed decisions while exploring your destination.
Travelling as a Family
Preparing family members and thinking ahead about communication, separation and unexpected situations.
Returning Home
Security considerations don't necessarily end when your holiday does. The guide also helps you think about your return journey and arriving back at your property.
You don't need to become a security professional to start thinking like one.
Professional security often begins with three simple principles.
Observe
Understand what's happening around you.
Assess
Recognise what appears normal and what deserves additional attention.
Act
Take sensible action before a situation becomes more difficult.
The Secure World Travel Guide translates professional security principles into straightforward information that everyday travellers can understand and use.
The purpose is preparation — not fear.
You don't need previous security knowledge. The Secure World Travel Guide has been created for travellers who want to make security a greater part of their preparation.
Read it before travelling and refer back to it during your journey.
Because Secure World Travel is supplied digitally, you can keep a copy available on your phone, tablet or laptop.
