A Darker Side Revealed For World Cup Travellers
Announcement posted by Reload Media 03 Jun 2014
An Australian travel insurance company- Worldcare- has
released an important safety infographic for people travelling to Brazil for
2014 FIFA World Cup.
This helpful guide reveals a slightly darker reputation to the vibrant
Brazilian culture, and aims to instil caution with real facts and statistics.
It’s likely that criminals will target World Cup tourists so it’s important to
be aware of the precautions you should take to keep safe, and what to do when
faced with a dangerous situation.
Brazil has the second largest number of murders per year with 42,785 people
murdered in 2013.
This is the first alarming statistic of the infographic to confront the readers
and reinforce the significance of the safety information.
Readers are shown what to look out for and the items that thieves tend to
target such as watches, jewellery, mobile phones, tablets and laptops.
The Australian Government’s Smart Traveller website urges travellers to
exercise a high degree of
caution when travelling to Brazil and to ensure you have organised
comprehensive travel insurance.
If you know anyone travelling to Brazil for the FIFA World Cup, you are
encouraged to share this infographic with them.
