SAFER TOURISM FOUNDATION
The charity's aim is to reduce the number of preventable deaths, injuries and illnesses occurring to British tourists travelling abroad. We work with the travel industry to improve health and safety for travellers, and we raise awareness of risk amongst the travelling public so that people can help to keep themselves safe and well when they are on holiday.
