Is International Travel A Risk?

Mission trips often take us to far off lands where customs, laws and social norms are a bit different than the ones we are used to. That’s perfectly okay, and in most cases welcome. Experiencing a new culture can be a beautiful thing!

Mission organizations should prepare their participants to interact with the culture in their host country. When individuals are not accustomed to international cities, different languages or local laws they put themselves and their team at a higher risk of a mishap. Organizations and mission trip leaders can ensure international travel safety, but this requires planning and awareness about the specific location you are visiting. Here are six steps you can take to ensure international travel safety. Share these with your entire missions team to help increase safety for everyone that will be traveling internationally.
