With incidents like political unrest becoming a common occurrence in the last few years, it’s time we all make sure how safe we are when travelling to a foreign land. In January this year, due to the “Yellow Vests Movement” in Paris, numerous portions of the city were shut down which adversely affected the foreigners who got stuck in the city for several days. Similarly, numerous cruise lines were affected in the San Juan region due to the protests against Puerto Rico’s government. And then, most recently Hong Kong’s international airport was shut down by protesters that widely impacted the island and the city. During the Hong Kong protests, aviation was adversely affected as the airport was completely shut down for a few days and almost all flights arriving at and departing from the airport were cancelled. The protests not only affected people travelling to and from the Hong Kong airport but even those changing a connecting through the city.
