What information would be helpful for domestic and international travel?

The company I work for is putting together an information packet for our employees when they travel. What sorts of information do you think would be helpful to have for international as well as domestic travel? Anything that you can think of would be great, some ideas we have are hotel amenities, passport information, travel itinerary. Can anyone think of anything else?





I really appreciate your help.|||Medical . Make sure which medical facilities accept your med aid or insurance. Make contact with medical facilities beforehand and keeptrack of procedure .





Security. Make sure you know what the crime rating is for areas you are going to visit. Get security contact numbers for assistance.





Find out if Police services are user friendly.





Use a gps for travel in areas you are not familiar with.





Make sure you know how to stop bank cards and how to have new one issued incase to are mugged or lost one.





Email certified copies of all your personal stuff ie pasport,drivers licence ,bank details,medical insurance etc to your self. You can then retrieve copies of anything you lost from a secure internet facility ie at a hotel.|||Find more about this at:http://world24hours.googlepage鈥?/a>

|||Personal things; Bringing aspirin/medications, some toiletries and a few changes of clothes on a CARRY ON bag. Losing your luggage, especially in an international trip, is horrible and happens more often than people think.





Also, having a little baggie, even a sandwich baggie, where you keep everything important like passports/visas/ids so that in between hotel switches or transfers you KNOW where your essentials are and where to look for them before you leave that place.





Money. This is a personal decision, but when I travel abroad to europe for over a week I enable my bank card to work at overseas atms. You have to call your bank in advance and let them know you want this, otherwise your bank might not allow 300 to be drawn out at an atm in amsterdam because they'll think it might be stolen (haha, sounds silly but you never know)
