ankles and make you get tired or hurt easily.

Safety knowledge

1、Check whether the travel agency has the three legal documents.

You have to choose the appropriate travel agency firstly. Make sure the three legal documents (operational license, business license and tax registration certificate) are available. In particular you must pay attention to the business range of the travel agency. For example, the travel agencies of domestic business do not deal with travel abroad or in Taiwan.

2、Purchase the travel accident insurance ahead of time.

If you choose a travel agency to go out for travel, you had better purchase travel accident insurance. Now many insurance companies have this insurance type. If you drive by yourself, you had better get familiar with the road conditions ahead of time. Before setting off, you must check the security equipment and prepare an emergency plan. If possible, you had better have another experienced driver available for a change.

3、Sign the contract and keep the invoice.

Sign a contract with the travel agency and keep the invoice. Tourists must read the items of the contract very carefully and make a clear explanation about all the items that will cause controversy and debate. Check whether there will be some replacement or compensation measures if the transportation tools are late and you cannot visit some places or change other transportation tools.

4、Check the weather conditions of the destination beforehand.

Before setting off, make sure to check the recent weather conditions of the destination in case of emergency.

5、The insurance company doesn’t cover the high-risk activities.

Tourists who participate in the summer camp or the self-drive travel or free trip (the travel agency arranges a guide or buses according to the tourists’ requirements) must purchase insurance and get to know something about the destination ahead of time. In general, tourists must have a clear plan about the activities in the tour. In the tourism activities such as rock-climbing, water-floating, glide，and bungee, you have to be very cautious, because the insurance company does not cover such high-risk activities.
