Travel Safe With Sportventurer
Travelling is one of the best things you'll ever do...
It does, however, carry a number of risks. Sportventurer uses its experience, knowledge, and training to minimise all potential eventualities. Several measures are taken to prevent problems arising overseas:
Before you leave
with Sportventurer
Pre-departure Advice
All venturers receive two pre-departure information packs to help with their preperation. These contain information on how to prepare for the expedition, health advice, kit lists, fundraising advice and letter of support, travelling tips, and emergency contact details.
Insurance
It is a prerequisite that all venturers take out comprehensive travel insurance that covers them from all eventualities. Speak to our in house travel agent Gap Club (0845 833 1991) to discuss your options.
Overseas
with Sportventurer
Crisis Management Response
Sportventurer has a full crisis management response to a whole host of potential scenarios which our Overseas crew and UK staff are trained to manage.
Emergency Contact
Full contact details are passed on to next of kin in the UK as well as the venturers themselves. In case of an emergency our UK staff are trained to manage.
Overseas Crew
Sportventurer employs full-time and seasonal crew to lead our projects. The crew meet the team off the plane and will remain with them for the entire project. The crew are trained and are all recently certified in first-aid.
Risk Assessment
All projects and adventures are risk assessed by crew on a daily basis. This means that any new potential dangers can be avoided.
Orientation
Once you arrive overseas a full orientation meeting will be given from our crew. The crew have a good knowledge of the country and the communities which the team will spend their time in. The meeting will give the team a chance to learn and discuss the cultural differences they will encounter, as well as the potential risks.
What If You Get Ill?
Health facilities are available locally in all our destinations. Your crew are on hand to get you to hospital if needed. We also have contacts with private Doctors in all destinations should you need a consultation.
