Travel Concerns For Guam Construction Workers

If you are a construction company from the United States and are considering placing

Guam construction bids there are a few things you should know about traveling out of the country. There are specific requirements even though you are visiting a US territory, and these will apply to any employees you have traveling to Guam.

Passports

Even though Guam is a US territory, you may need a passport to travel to Guam. If you travel via one of the international airlines that stops in several international airports on the way to or from Guam you will need a passport. Flying Hawaii airlines will not require a passport, so before you or your crew heads out to complete Guam construction projects you need to determine your travel plans.

Immunization

Anytime you travel out of the country, it is important to have your standard immunizations up to date. These include MMR, DPT, polio and others; in addition to traditional shots, you may need protection from diseases not native to your home country. For example, anyone traveling or working in the South Pacific, which includes Guam, you will need protection against Typhoid and both forms of Hepatitis. H1N1 is also a concern throughout the world and is another issue that should be discussed with your physician before scheduling your flight.

Insurance

You never know when an emergency could present itself, and many travelers choose to take out insurance for unexpected hospitalizations. If you have no coverage you should be aware that any medical expenses will be your responsibility and while you can go to the emergency room in the US without upfront payment the same is not true everywhere in the world. Check your current medical coverage before you leave to ensure you are covered if the unthinkable should happen while you are overseas.

Conclusion

Guam construction projects are gearing up and look to provide untold opportunities for workers of all kinds. Nevertheless, you and your crew need to be prepared before flying out. Advice all employees to schedule a routine check up with their physician several weeks before setting out for foreign destinations. In some cases, an individual will require a booster to their immunization; this will depend on the person's health and any underlying medical issues.
