Which countries and regions are most risky? How can travellers deal with in today's travel environment? Which precautions should be taken? In the previous years there has been several disasters around the world as the threat of avian flu, Ebola, AIDS, wars, violent demonstrations, a massive earthquake in Sumatra, Indonesia, the Haitang typhoon in Southeast China and Taiwan, Hurricanes in America, bomb attacks in London, Bali and Amman, and the devastating earthquake in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan. So many dramatic incidents have happened in a short time that it seems that travellers should be prepared for dealing with unexpectable situations. That`s the life of travelling today. The only things which is normal is the unexpectable!
