The latest from World Nomads, who want to keep business travellers and tourists up to date with a range of risks, before they make the trip. Here’s the word;
World Nomads, the global travel insurance company, has launched a new online travel guide: Travel Wiser, a companion on how to navigate and mitigate emergency situations. With a new dedicated section on World Nomads’ website, Travel Wiser covers topics from backpacker checklists to survival skills in case of shark attacks.
Targeted at every type of holidaymaker, Travel Wiser is designed to help travellers plan and get the most out of their trips. Its articles outline an array of useful tips, tricks and hacks, from the best travel apps to guides on getting through an unexpected overnight stay at the airport.
Travel Wiser also has a ‘wellness module’ that gives ways to stay healthy while on holiday. This includes tips for combatting altitude sickness and ways to beat loneliness on a solo trip. The guide has a wealth of real-time benefits. For example, by providing relevant advice on how travellers should treat the currently elevated terror threat in the Netherlands, a very popular destination for British tourists.
Jonathan Frankham, general manager of World Nomads, Europe, said:
“With its canals, windmills and world-leading art museums, the Dutch capital, Amsterdam, attracts around 2.4 million UK visitors each year, and is a great short hop for the festive season. However, the country has raised its terror attack alert level for the first time since 2019, upping it to level four, or “substantial”, out of five on the scale.
“According to the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), this ‘means that there is a real chance of a terrorist attack in the Netherlands’.
“As a travel insurance provider, we always encourage British tourists to be aware of the risks associated with their chosen destination, and the Netherlands is no exception. While generally a safe place to visit, it’s important for travellers to be aware of the risks they may encounter there.
“By taking necessary precautions such as avoiding large gatherings, staying informed about local events, following the advice of local authorities, travellers can minimize their risk and have a safe and enjoyable trip to the Netherlands. It’s also important to keep up-to-date with the latest travel advisories from the UK government and consult with a travel insurance provider to ensure adequate coverage for your trip. Useful practical advice will now always be available on the Travel Wiser website.
Jonathan Frankham continued: “I am really pleased that World Nomads now has a very clearly marked section of its website dedicated to Travel Wiser. We have long been a source of valuable travel information and safety tips – and this is a key reason why we are a go-to travel insurance provider – this advice and knowledge can make practical differences to travellers navigating the trickier elements of travel.
“Evergreen tips will be blended with tailored advice from travel experts that works well with World Nomads’ commitment to 24/7 emergency assistance, customer service and claims support and will answer queries on an array of topics from the planning stage to executing the trip.”
