- About World Travel Watch
- World Travel Watch originated in 1985 when we, Larry Habegger and James O’Reilly, were dissatisfied with coverage of world news in newspaper travel sections. It was a time when travel editors shied away from stories covering places perceived to be dangerous but also when aircraft hijackings were a common terrorist technique, and the need for balanced, accurate information about the world was more important than ever. We started writing our column to dispel myths where we found them, so entire countries wouldn’t get scratched off the travel map when security problems might be isolated to specific regions, and also to highlight those places that were truly dangerous and needed to be avoided. We felt that the State Department’s travel advisories were good to a point, but often too cautious and not specific enough. We wanted to go beyond those advisories and give readers deeper, broader, more useful information to make informed judgments about their travels.
