HOLIDAY TRAVEL SAFETY FOR U.S. CITIZENS ABROAD

As you enjoy the holiday season in foreign countries, stay vigilant and protect yourself with these safety tips:

STAY ALERT: Keep your awareness high in public spaces like holiday markets, public transportation, and places of worship.

KEEP A LOW PROFILE: Avoid displaying expensive jewelry, electronics, or large amounts of cash. Blend in and minimize attracting unnecessary attention.

SMART TRAVEL STRATEGIES: Plan routes in advance and know your destination. Use reputable, app-based transportation or official taxi services.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS: Keep digital and physical copies of important documents. Save local U.S. embassy/consulate contact information.

Travel smart, stay safe.
