Asian Travel Links, Information and State Department Warnings
Welcome to World Travelers of America (WTA)
Foreign Destination Information. WTA provides travel information
on many countries around the world. This information may include:
U.S. State Department information, tourism information, and a map.
The U.S. State Department information contains Travel Warnings,
Public Announcements and Consular Information Sheets. A description
of each is listed below.
Travel Warnings are issued when the State
Department decides, based on all relevant information, to recommend
that Americans avoid travel to a certain country. Countries where
avoidance of travel is recommended will have Travel Warnings as
well as Consular Information Sheets.
Public Announcements are a means to disseminate
information about terrorist threats and other relatively short-term
and/or trans-national conditions posing significant risks to the
security of American travelers. They are made any time there is
a perceived threat and usually have Americans as a particular target
group. In the past, Public Announcements have been issued to deal
with short-term coups, bomb threats to airlines, violence by terrorists
and anniversary dates of specific terrorist events.
Consular Information Sheets are available
for every country of the world. They include such information as
location of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the subject country,
unusual immigration practices, health conditions, minor political
disturbances, unusual currency and entry regulations, crime and
security information, and drug penalties. If an unstable condition
exists in a country that is not severe enough to warrant a Travel
Warning, a description of the condition(s) may be included under
an optional section entitled "Safety/Security." On limited occasions,
also restated in this section is any U.S. Embassy advice given to
official employees. Consular Information Sheets generally do not
include advice, but present information in a factual manner so the
traveler can make his or her own decisions concerning travel to
a particular country .
