A new and perhaps timely travel aid will be available from today providing travellers with an untypical form of ‘insurance’ in the form of local information whilst abroad on who to call or where to go in the event of a critical or emergency situation.
Called Fisher’s Travel SOS, this innovative guide comes as a printed pocket-sized booklet or self-print online document. The guides are packed with contact details, information and advice, sourced locally by travel writers and journalists and presented in individual editions for each specific destination for over 65 countries, claiming that never before has such crucial information been available in a handy guide.
Created by Julian Fisher, the idea for the guides came about after he was lost for information on how to deal with a medical issue whilst visiting Norway, a country generally thought of as safe, but which is of course ‘foreign’ to a visiting traveller. Realising that there wasn’t anything available, Julian researched his own guides and with the help of over 160 journalists around the world Fisher’s Travel SOS was born.
Fisher’s Travel SOS covers emergencies from medical to legal, financial to transportation, missing or stolen items, to accommodation and communication, including, if a person’s passport or credit cards are stolen and they need to file a report, or they urgently need cash or a place to stay, a reliable taxi service, if they’ve lost their baggage and need to buy clothes, a pharmacy at 11 o’clock at night, or even a vet, Fisher’s has the ‘local’ as well as nationally relevant information to hand.
Available from the website www.fisherstravelsos.com, “World travel has reached new heights thanks to remarkably cheap air tickets and equally so have tourist and business traveller incidents”, said Julian Fisher, Publisher of Fisher’s Travel SOS.
