Safe Traveler, the world’s most complete clearinghouse for travel-related information, was created to provide consumers a user-friendly, single authoritative source for timely and relevant information, products and services.
Powered through its partnership with iJET®, Safe Traveler experts rely on the world’s most comprehensive, sophisticated and proven network of intelligence sources to monitor, evaluate and advise travelers on thousands of destinations (24 hours a day, 365 days per year).
Today’s travelers are concerned with a multitude of issues, including crime, health risks, airport security, natural disasters, weather and terrorism. Even seasoned travelers returning to a familiar destination will witness constantly changing conditions and events, which can create anxiety. Safe Traveler provides travelers with the most inclusive and accurate destination-specific information possible to help make one’s trip safe, fun and worry-free.
Safe Traveler is able to supply every traveler with knowledge previously reserved for a select few savvy travelers, government officials and corporate executives. For the first time, virtually everyone planning a trip – from vacationers, to occasional business travelers, to students – has easy access to the latest, most reliable information about domestic and international destinations.
Safe Traveler’s intelligence network is continuously monitoring TV, Web sites, news feeds and press reports, tapping into government sources and in-country experts, and utilizing its proprietary collections systems to provide the most comprehensive view of a destination available including alerts and updates on timely matters such as weather, security, airport issues, health, culture, currency, legal, entry/exit requirements, transportation, communications/technology, environmental, financial, language, and the political climate.
The nature of the information is granular, allowing the company to present a complete picture of a destination – free from political constraints. Area specialists also provide unique insight and cultural guidance with respect to each destination. From local conversation styles to expectations when shopping, travelers will have a better understanding of local customs, geography, and history to make the most of their trip.
Safe Traveler provides travel safety information, travel tips, advisories, current travel updates, plus cultural and destination information on over 200 countries and thousands of locations. The company issues over 5,000 alerts, updates and advisories annually as well as offers immediate expert advice if situations arise. While this resource is new to the general traveling public, its information is of proven value – as various high-level corporate executives, government officials and VIPs have relied on it for almost a decade.

Safe Traveler Product/Services Fact Sheet
Safe Traveler experts believe that knowledge is the most powerful tool to help ensure a safe, enjoyable and productive trip. That’s why comprehensive information, previously reserved exclusively for top corporate executives and government officials, is now being made available to all travelers.
Safe Traveler, through iJET® Intelligent Risk Systems, provides what no other single source can offer the traveling public and issues thousands of alerts, updates and advisories annually, which are the foundation for its product/service offerings. The alerts are the building blocks for more complete information, resources and advice compiled by Safe Traveler professionals and intelligence analysts.
Safe Traveler experts rely on the world’s most comprehensive, sophisticated and proven network of intelligence sources, integrated with a proprietary intelligence processing system, to monitor, evaluate and advise travelers on thousands of destinations (24 hours a day, 365 days per year). The approach to data gathering and evaluation is granular, reflecting not only the larger safety issues, but also those most relevant to travelers (e.g., an area taxi strike, border crossing delays, immunization recommendations, relevant health alerts, etc.).
This information is combined with additional destination specific information and background content to create downloadable 30-40 page Intelligence Briefs. Taking it a step further, the Safe Traveler Destination Tracker offers a truly high-tech, interactive travel monitoring service (alerting recipients to immediate situations wherever they are).
Safe Traveler offers three levels of information to suit every traveler’s plans and safety needs:

Web site visitors will find useful background information on the culture and conditions of hundreds of destinations.

Destination Tracker ($25)
Priced at just $25, the Safe Traveler Destination Tracker is the world's first and only interactive consumer travel monitoring service, offering information previously reserved for elite travelers. The Destination Tracker provides high-level travel safety updates and cultural data (in the form of one Intelligence Brief per country visited) as a complete planning tool for domestic and international travel. Recipients receive up-to-date information and extensive background research for the country they will visit combined with continuous monitoring and updates for each leg of their trip (up to eight). These alerts and updates are emailed (or sent as text messages) along with destination advice and recommendations directly to the recipient wherever they are. Health alerts and updates are even sent for 30 days after the trip is completed. It's like having a personal security team monitoring local conditions of the specified locations to offer real-time relevant trip updates.
In addition to the latest information and alerts, the Safe Traveler Destination Tracker also provides detailed granular information on the language, culture and political environment in the chosen destinations.
