Street Georgetown Global travel is still a serious undertaking Global travel has become so commonplace in this age that many travellers have grown almost casual about what is still a serious undertaking As the Iraqi crisis has shown danger still exists for travellers to some parts of the world A certain prudence ought to be exercised in the planning stages of to cut through the riskier foreign destina tions When Iraqi forces invaded neighboring Kuwait Aug it marked the beginning of a nightmare for tens of thousands of innocent people Among them were the passengers and crews of foreign airlines that happened to be in Kuwait at that time After weeks of delay Iraq has finally allowed the departure of many of the women and children among those airline passengers including two Toronto sisters whose flight to India was un fortunately making a refuelling stop in Kuwait at the time of the in Some of the male passengers on the other hand have apparently been sent to Iraqi military and strategic industrial locations along with other foreign males who had been working or vacation ing in Kuwait and Iraq to deter United Nations forces from attack ing such targets MORE STRESS At one time business travel was fun but its changing dramatically said Denise Ryan corporate travel director for Avon Products New York Now its crowded and stressful and everyone is worried about security she told Business Travel News It will get worse Business travellers are more vulnerable than because their schedules of meetings dont allow much flex Vince ibility Unlike Canadian authorities the U S State Department is excep tionally vigilant in alerting citizens to adverse conditions abroad Example Until July Washington was advising Americans to defer nonessential travel to Kenya because of political tension there with the easing of that tension it changed that warning to a recommendation that visitors guard against widespread street crime and con fidence scams and that people who wish to go to Kenyas wildlife reserves should travel with reputable safari organizations In his annual report Canadian Auditor General Kenneth Dye said that Joe Clarks External Affairs deparmtment wasnt doing all it could to inform Canadians of specific dangers in some parts of the world LOCAL PITFALL Apart from military and political crises other pitfalls in the form of unfamiliar local laws customs and scams may await Canadians travelling abroad In Saudi Arabia and some other Middle Eastern jurisdictions alcohol is strictly forbidden Arab customs inspectors will not only confiscate it but are also likely to subject the offending visitor to unpleasant questioning and other delays Even audio and video cassettes may be seized In Israel a teenager visiting from Toronto was killed on a Tel Aviv beach by a random bomb ex plosion this summer Less tragic and more common is thievery on Israeli beaches one trick is to steal the hotel keys of tourists who are swimming and then to plunder the hotel room In many East African court tries visitors are required to make a currency declaration upon ar rival to keep official receipts for any exchange dealings while in the country and then to present the relevant papers upon departure If they dont balance as would be the case if you yielded to the tempta tion to sell dollars at a street comer black market you could be faced with penalties including im prisonment before being permit ted to leave the country TRAVEL NOTEBOOK Here are notes on news of cur rent interest to travellers Hatacard is a new travel- service

unique eating choice TORONTO Travellers flying Lufthansa within Germany and Europe tan count on more than what industry insiders call just a peanut light The airline is known for its healthy snacks even on short haulb Until recently these were offered in plastic bags placed on stands at the gate to be picked up just before boar ding On most domestic flights now however the airlines passengers
