Travel Alert: Hidden Risks Behind Vacation Fun

The U.S. Embassy has issued a warning following reports of fatal accidents and sexual assaults linked to unlicensed and uninsured jet ski and beach activity operators. While these incidents are making headlines now, we've been addressing these risks in our private travel safety briefings for years.

Before booking any excursion, verify the operator is licensed, insured, and reputable. Be cautious of vendors approaching you directly on the beach with "too good to be true" offers. Your vacation should create memories—not emergencies.

Taking the time and effort to research your travel destination can help prevent a lifetime of regret. Awareness is our most powerful tool for preventing accidents and saving lives,
