A new service has been launched to help Brits when they are abroad, specifically when they get into difficulties on foreign soil. The news has been covered by Peter Woodman in The Independent,

“Entitled Travel Buddy, the service will also give tourists information about their destination in a scheme funded by the Foreign Office.”

Travel Buddy has been launched by ABTA the travel organisation and will monitor destinations giving out information in situations of emergency, advising travellers on the best course of action.

Is this a service you would appreciate and use?
