• Most of us are aware that there is inherent risk in traveling, especially abroad.

• Professionals in the security and executive protection arenas are consistently frustrated with how few business travelers actually engage in some form of situational awareness training to mitigate risk.
• These risks range from petty theft to armed robbery, carjacking, abduction, kidnap for ransom, vehicle ramming attacks, stabbings and hotel room invasions .
• Regional unrest in various parts of the globe have increased the risk of travel to countries non related.
• Travel safety training  provides specific knowledge enabling the traveler to more readily recognize and avoid potential problems while obtaining the skills necessary to better handle situations that might arise.

• We live in an ever changing world when it comes to the tactics of those who wish to do us harm. Thinking “Outside the Box” is critical to structuring proactive measures to deal with evolving threats that the  “Lone Wolf” or sophisticated actors or petty criminal will present.

• Those who travel abroad with some basic situational awareness training in place are typically at lower risk in an increasingly turbulent and dangerous world.
