We are excited to announce that for the second year running Global Rescue has been singled out in the Outside Magazine 2013 Travel Awards.

To select this year’s awards, Outside tapped their global network of correspondents, who spent months on the road traveling from the Philippines to Switzerland to Namibia and then some.

Under the title ‘Get Backup’, Outside advised:

“If you’re going somewhere risky, consider Global Rescue, which offers evacuations services for members of its international medical and security coverage (from $119 per trip; globalrescue.com) Better yet, the company now offers members safety updates on every country – making it a better source of information than the State Department’s travel warnings, which can be six months old.”

“Outside magazine has long been one of the world’s most trusted advisors for active and adventurous travelers,” says Outside Editor Christopher Keyes. “In addition to truly award-worthy destinations and travel providers, this year we unearthed a handful of amazing new frontiers in active travel. Our annual edit franchise honors the year’s best trips, hotels, lodges, luggage, islands, and new destinations that will be an invaluable travel resource for years to come.”
