The Altitude Assessment tool helps you evaluate altitude-related considerations for your tours, accommodation, or activities. By understanding potential risks, you can proactively plan safer experiences for your guests, such as customising itineraries and providing specific advice for high-altitude locations.

Tips
Be as accurate as possible: The more precise you are with your altitude, activity details, and guest profiles, the more accurate and helpful your assessment will be. If you're unsure of an exact altitude, a quick online search for your specific location can often help.
Assess each unique tour/location: If you offer tours in multiple high-altitude locations or have different types of activities at the same location, create a separate assessment for each. This ensures you get customised advice.
Consider your "most vulnerable" guests: When thinking about guest demographics, it's often a good idea to consider the needs of your potentially most vulnerable guests (e.g., older travellers, those with existing health conditions) to ensure your plans are robust.
Educate your staff: Share the assessment reports with your guides and on-site team. They're directly involved, and having this knowledge will empower them to better support your guests.
Use it for guest before the trip information: Take the recommendations from the assessment and incorporate them into the before the trip information you send to your guests. Things like "remember to hydrate" or "consider taking it easy on arrival day" can make a huge difference.
