TUTORIAL TO TRAVEL RISK MANAGEMENT | JUNE 2023

For women traveling alone, preparation is key to safety

TUTORIAL TO TRAVEL RISK MANAGEMENT | JUNE 2023

By Andreas Rodman 

Travel risk management (TRM) is about making work-related travel safe for employees, consultants, contractors, interns, expats, and all other types of personnel. TRM is a big collection of processes and tools that involves many aspects and functions.  In this whitepaper, I will provide a bit of guidance on what I believe are the most important components and how they could be set up, such as travel approval, booking process, education, locating employees, emergency assistance, and more.  Here, I will focus on the classic definition of TRM. I hope to discuss the broader aspects of people risk management in future articles.

TUTORIAL TO TRAVEL RISK MANAGEMENT | JUNE 2023

By Bruce McIndoe 

Policies and the procedures to implement them provide clarity to everyone involved regarding accountability issues or activities of critical importance to an organization, such as health and safety, regulatory requirements, legal liabilities, or other issues that may have serious consequences. Given the critical importance of protecting an organization’s people, having a travel risk policy is imperative. However, simply having a travel risk policy is not enough. An organization must develop and implement procedures to ensure the policy is followed. Not doing so can result in creating more liability for an organization.

How travelers can avoid dangerous destinations

How to Safeguard Your Tech, and Your Money, While Traveling

For women traveling alone, preparation is key to safety

By Christopher Elliott 

No-go lists are personal. A dangerous place for you might be fine for me — and vice versa. I asked travellers to share their thoughts on countries to avoid, and their answers were all over the map. David Pearlman, a travel agent from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., wasn’t impressed with Egypt, a Level 3 country because of a heightened risk of terrorism. He recommends using a tour operator to stay out of trouble. Travellers tend to focus on the wrong things when they assess travel risks. Many worry about terrorism or violent crime, when there are far more likely risks. “The most common dangers that travellers face are accidents, health issues and nonviolent crime,” McIndoe says. “Road safety is a big issue for travellers — this is both being in a vehicle and as a pedestrian.

How to Safeguard Your Tech, and Your Money, While Traveling


By Jane L.  Levere

Travel companies were hit by one data breach in recent times — firms including Marriott, British Airways, Delta Air Lines and the travel booking site Orbitz. Marriott estimates that as a result of its breach — in which the reservation database of Starwood-branded hotels in its portfolio was hacked — 383 million guest records could have been affected and 5.25 million unencrypted passport numbers were possibly compromised.
