Travellers Visiting Australia Faced With Higher Risk of Sun Damage

Pro-Visual Publishing have proudly released their latest edition of the digitally interactive Traveller’s Guide to National Safety & Health 2018/19, supported by Australian Tourism Export Council, Tourism Australia and Surf Life Saving Australia. Pro-Visual prides themselves on providing detailed information and resources to travellers to help to ensure they know how to stay safe whilst visiting Australia.

Skin cancer caused by sun damage is a risk many are faced with by exposure to the Australian heat. It may be news to some that individuals can burn not only their body but also the cornea in the eye. Pro-Visual Publishing provides travellers with facts of sun damage and skin cancer as well as solutions to help protect and lower the risk of skin cancer. A skin type chart is also featured, detailing the risk of skin cancer and UV damage depending on skin type.

Other areas covered in the 2018/19 edition of the Guide include:

  • Hiking safety.
  • Women travelling alone.
  • Beach safety.
     

The Augmented Reality (AR) component provides a window to further information and interactive resources relevant to travellers. Using the free Pro-Vis AR app, travellers can scan over any AR capable content to instantly access additional resources enhancing engagement of learning safe facts of travelling in Australia.

“I would like to thank all of the sponsors of the Travellers Guide to National Safety & Health 2018/19. Their support has made it possible for the guide to be distributed free of charge.” – John Hutchings, CEO, Pro-Visual Publishing.
