Read our travel advice,
travel tips and related travel articles below to make your travel and tourism well-prepared before leaving.
Before you depart, it's a good idea to do some research on your
destination and make sure you have the necessary documentation and items
you need.
Get an up-to-date guidebook and check out websites which have practical tips and detail other travellers' experiences. Use
your search engine to find other useful sites or to locate your destination's tourist office.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, before leaving on your trip. When organising your insurance make sure it will cover you for the whole time you plan to be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. For example, if you plan to hike, do adventure activities or ride motorcycles or bicycles while overseas, you should confirm that your policy will cover you if you have an accident while doing one of these activities.
