Description

Are you looking to travel a bit further off the beaten track? This guide will explain the risks inherent with travelling to higher-risk locations and will provide practical and actionable advice to enable you to effectively manage those risks and take responsibility for your own safety and security. In this guide we've covered how to plan for your trip (did you know that a significant amount of risk can be eliminated before you even leave your home?), what to do when you first arrive at your destination, and how to get to your accommodation safely. From there, we explain how you can determine whether your hotel is secure, as well as how to respond if your hotel is attacked. When you're in a higher-risk location, you'll be at your most vulnerable when you're outside of the relative safety of your accommodation. We provide actionable advice on how you can stay safe when out on the street, driving in a vehicle and when conducting meetings. We've also included an entire chapter on the security of your information while travelling. We discuss different options to prepare your devices for travel and talk through some of the problems you may face at border checkpoints. This guide is written with all types of travellers in mind, from business people to backpackers. If you're planning to travel to a location with a high levels of risk from crime, kidnap or terrorism, this guide is your ideal companion.
