{{Short description|Government safety warning for foreign travel}}
A '''travel warning''', '''travel alert''', or '''travel advisory''' is an official [warning statement](/source/Precautionary_statement) issued by [government agencies](/source/government_agency) to provide information about the relative safety of [travel](/source/travel)ling to or visiting one or more specific foreign [countries](/source/country) or destinations.[{{cite web|title=Travel warning definition |url=http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/travel-warning|publisher=Macmillan Publishers|location=[New York](/source/New_York_City)|access-date=11 February 2013}}] The purpose is to enable travelers to make an informed decision about a particular travel destination, and to help travellers prepare adequately for what may be encountered on their trip. In the [United States](/source/United_States), travel warnings are issued by the [Department of State](/source/United_States_Department_of_State) and are often called warden messages.[{{cite web|title=Alerts and Warnings|url=https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/alertswarnings.html|publisher=[U.S. Department of State](/source/U.S._Department_of_State)|location=[Washington](/source/Washington%2C_D.C.)|access-date=22 August 2015}}][{{cite web|url=http://burma.usembassy.gov/warden_messages.html|title=Emergency Messages and Announcements|location=[Yangon](/source/Yangon)|publisher=[U.S. Department of State](/source/U.S._Department_of_State)|access-date=30 January 2016}}]
Travel advisories may relate to issues such as [inclement weather](/source/inclement_weather), [security](/source/security) matters, [civil unrest](/source/civil_unrest) or [disease](/source/disease).[{{cite web|title=Travel Alerts|url=http://www.smilex.cz/cestovni-vystrahy#warnings|publisher=Agentura SMILEX|access-date=11 February 2013|language=cs}}]
