International SOS and Control Risks Unveil Top Political and Security Travel Risks in 2012
Webinar
In 2011, political unrest and natural disasters from the Japan earthquake to The Arab Spring disrupted governments and infrastructures, threatened traveler safety and health and in some cases, led to medical and security evacuations.
As 2012 begins, International SOS and Control Risks experts will assess current global hot spots and identify the political and security risks they anticipate will have the most impact on business travelers and expatriates in the coming year. Presenters of Global Political and Travel Security Risks 2012 will review the top 20 countries reported as “most risky” for business travel by respondents to International SOS’ recentDuty of Care and Travel Risk Management Benchmarking Study and speak to the threats specific to each location. Best practices for mitigating risks and fulfilling Duty of Care for traveling employees will also be discussed.
Following the presentation, webinar attendees are invited to participate in a Q&A session with the keynote speakers. Participants will also learn how they can secure a free trial of Control Risks’ online Country Risk Forecast tool.
