Not many people will have been aware that, up until the end of
February, Madagascar was the only country in the world, apart from
Somalia, that the Foreign Office were advising Britions not to travel
to, giving it a higher risk factor than Afghanistan, Iraq and the
Democratic Republic of Congo. Although Madagascar is not on most
tourist routes, the recent political turmoil on the Island does show
that, whilst most holiday destinations are generally strife free, it
still pays to check out where you are going before you travel.

The best place to do this is by checking with the Foreign Office
which has up to date advice on all countries and to log on to

and avoid those areas where a heightened tension exists.
