Travel Safety

In the corporate world, all business travel is wrought with its own perils-meetings may blow up in your face, deals may fall apart at the last minute or relationships may be severed. But when these inherent possibilities are compounded by the real physical danger that can come along with traveling

Each year, it seems the threat of kidnapping in foreign countries grows worse. In certain parts of Colombia, Mexico and Iran, a Western business executive walking the streets is not entirely safe.

But it is not just this worst-case scenario business travelers have to worry about. Lesser crimes such as mugging and pick-pocketing are also ever-present, and it is generally the individuals who look the most out of place that will be targeted.

To help "harden" foreign travelers, the Safe Travel Institute has developed a Safe Passage DVD that will benefit both individuals and corporations. Created by former directors at the United States Department of Defense, this video will guide you through the key stages of travel, from proper packing and hotel security to recognizing and avoiding dangerous situations. Viewers will be taught common surveillance techniques used by those targeting them for robbery or hostage taking, and shown the best ways to deter these criminals.

Also included is the Safe Passage Companion system that includes a resource CD with vital contact information for the best emergency contacts in a list of foreign cities and embassy phone numbers; a pocket reference of safe travel reminders; a specially designed travel security pouch; and an online membership to the Safe Passage NewsLine for up-to-date security information for locations around the globe.
