The Challenge
One of our valued clients at Securitas needed to organize international travel for several employees for important projects abroad. They were concerned about how COVID-19 regulations and rules in the countries they were visiting might affect their plans, along with other potential travel hurdles. Their access to detailed local information was limited to what they could find on Google.
The lack of detailed information on COVID-19 regulations and conditions in destination countries raises the risk of health-related issues, such as illness or quarantine measures for travelers. Moreover, not following local regulations could lead to legal consequences like fines or legal action, putting their operations and reputation at stake.
Additionally, the lack of awareness about travel restrictions and regulatory changes could cause disruptions like flight cancellations or unexpected delays, impacting project schedules and budgets. In summary, the challenge of limited local intelligence highlights the importance of thorough travel planning to manage risks and ensure the safety and success of international ventures.
