Abstract: Abstract Government travel advisories are important guides for citizens on risks for travellers when visiting international destinations. In essence, they are an expression of a country’s duty of care to its citizens when travelling internationally. The foreign ministries of most tourism generating countries issue travel advisories applicable to all countries travellers intend to visit. Until 2020, with a small number of exceptions, their wording was in the form of an advisory. This enabled travellers to exercise their discretion to choose whether they would act on the advice. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 heralded a major change in the approach of many governments to travel advisories.
