How do agencies handle political protests or curfews?

When there is civil unrest or a sudden curfew, registered travel agencies usually keep direct lines to the Tourist Police and use official, government-issued tourist passes. These passes let their vehicles travel without problems. They also aim to pull you out of the risky, volatile zones right away.

Since they get localised intel before it becomes international news, agencies often tweak their routes days ahead to sidestep demonstrations completely. They function as a kind of safety barrier, so your holiday stays isolated from local political disruptions, as much as possible.
