Company offers country-by-country safety briefings

If you’re wondering about a destination’s safety, or just looking for cultural information but don’t have time to research it yourself, Safe Traveler (safetraveler.com) has a solution. For $25, the Destination Tracker, an interactive monitoring service, will provide you with travel safety updates and cultural data for each country you plan to visit. Reports include detailed information on language, culture and political environment. Customers receive up-to-date information and extensive background research for each destination, plus continuous monitoring and updates for each leg of a trip (up to eight). These alerts and updates can be emailed or sent as text messages, along with destination advice and recommendations. Health alerts and updates are also sent for 30 days after completion of the trip. Alternatively, prior to your domestic or international trip, you can purchase a Travel Intelligence Brief for $7.50, which provides all current destination alerts, advisories and updates at the moment you download the report, which is typically 35-40 pages long.
