Travel Security Tips For Every Business Director From A Professional Bodyguard
As a professional bodyguard every business director who has contacted me recently has stated they have an interest in seeking business growth from the recent volatile regions of North Africa & the Middle East once the conflict ends & peace & democracy reins. Many are Mavericks looking to visit these countries during the current unrest. It's far too dangerous to even contemplate it without having an understanding of basic travel security tips.
Travel Security Tips From A Professional Bodyguard #1 Consult A Close Protection Security Specialist
A close protection security specialist is not your average security guard working on a retail shop premises. Nor is he or she likely to be someone from 'Rent a Pectoral Bouncer' from your local nightclub. While these people are likely to be experts in their respective security sectors, they are unlikely to be qualified, skilled or personally experienced in providing corporate protective services for a business director visiting hostile countries seeking company growth for their business.
Travel Security Tips From A Professional Bodyguard #2 Threat Identification
It is critical to mission success that every business director travelling into any political hot spot, war zone or other hostile environment for the purpose of achieving business, or company growth, to clearly identify both the perceived, and actual risks to their person and their business.
A close protection security specialist consultant will provide this service for you.
Travel Security Tips From A Professional Bodyguard #3 Threat Assessment
Once the perceived and actual threats and risks have been identified to a business director visiting hostile environments to lay the foundations for company growth, then your close protection security specialist consultant will provide a detailed threat assessment for you.
This will include security product and close protection personnel suggestions to minimise the security risks related to your travel trip.
Travel Security Tips From A Professional Bodyguard #4 Retain A Close Protection Security Officer/s
It is wise for every business director seeking company growth from overseas expansion to understand the primary role of any professional close protection officers. They are to keep the VIP free from embarrassment, and to keep the VIP safe from any physical danger.
Ensure you pay for and consult with the most experienced Close Protection Security Specialist you can find. Common sense dictates he or she should have extensive personal experience of providing protective service operations in the countries and regions you plan on visiting.
Travel Security Tips From A Professional Bodyguard #5 Kidnap For Ransom Insurance
Every business director travelling overseas looking to identify opportunities for company growth, or just travelling as a tourist should as a matter of high priority take out a Kidnap for Ransom Insurance policy, or a K&R policy as they are known in the security industry. These types of business or corporate specialist Insurance policies are mostly underwritten by Lloyds of London, but many brokers offer the policies.
You will be pleased to know that these K&R policies are no longer reserved for the rich and famous, and the price of these policies fall within most business traveller's budget.
