Country-specific reports
When travelling, you don’t need to go very far before you encounter conditions that are very different from those in your home country. For example, there may be special customs or forms of social interaction. This is why it helps to be familiar with the local culture when travelling abroad, or when working and negotiating across national boundaries and continents.
SOS prepares country-specific reports to provide a sound insight into the country or region in question. The information in the reports is based on and tailored to the specific needs and wishes of the person travelling.
Useful and necessary knowledge
Essentially, our country-specific reports contain information on:
- Security
- Health
- Medical facilities
- Culture and etiquette
- Useful contacts
Travelling safely
If your journey takes you to a risk area, SOS helps to reduce the risks. We offer 100% up-to-date security and risk assessments of more than 200 countries. Keep our reports handy, and you will be well prepared to travel safely while abroad.
In some risk zones, safety assessment levels can vary from day to day. As a supplement to the country-specific reports, SOS also provides daily local risk updates for companies and their employees, for instance.
Health and medical facilities
SOS provides information about diseases and any epidemics at your destination. We also advise on how to avoid becoming ill. At the same time, travellers can draw on our in-depth knowledge of the local health services in the individual countries – for example, we can recommend the best treatment centres.
Culture and etiquette
A country-specific report contains information on the particular country’s geography, social matters, special customs and the best ways for travellers to conduct themselves in different contexts and situations.
Simple and user-friendly
A country-specific report is produced as a simple, easy-to-follow document that can be read before departure or referred to on your travels.
