Current Challenges
Let’s examine some prominent concerns in the realm of travel risk management in the present day. These issues are crucial as the complexity of travel increases, influenced by shifts in geopolitical situations, political unrest, rising medical emergencies, and security problems that affect both travellers and organisations. Addressing these issues is vital to ensure employees feel secure and valued during their international assignments.
28% deaths
It is alarming to realise that almost 28% of all accidental deaths among employees travelling overseas stem from road-related incidents, especially traffic collisions.
15,309+ kidnappings
In 2023 over 15,000 recorded kidnapping were documented in South Africa. Since that time, this figure has increased twofold throughout the country.
68% sexual harassment
Female Travellers, frequently encounter sexual harassment during their journeys, emphasising the critical necessity for improved safety protocols and training.
20%-60% foodborne illness
Individuals travelling to high-risk areas are likely to have a 20% to 60% chance of showing a foodborne illness within their first two weeks.
