Going abroad for a Stag or hen do?

May 13th, 2011

Up to one million Brits are planning to go abroad this year to enjoy their pre wedding festivities. But the foreign office has issued a warning advising travellers against celebrating too excessively, as this can clash with local customs and could cause trouble.

According to the Daily Mail, Foreign Office spokesman Phil Lord said:

Stag and hen dos are all about having a great time but the celebrations can come to an abrupt end if things go wrong. Cultural differences mean some people will take offence to risqué fancy dress costumes and rowdy behavior. So, to avoid a hostile reception from the locals or even spending the weekend in jail, make sure you research your destination and know your limits.

swiftcover.com has also advised travelers to ensure they have adequate travel insurance cover in place before setting off on a trip abroad.
