2023 was, thus, a year of heightened awareness when it came to travel safety. Priorities of travellers and corporations have been reshaped over the past year. Health and safety protocols became the norm, leading to an increased focus on health security and digital integration.
Looking ahead to 2024, it’s important to note that travel risks will still exist, albeit in a different form. With geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, and technological advancements, staying ahead of potential threats is essential.
We’re expecting elevated mobility rates alongside efforts to improve security and convenience through digitalisation. On the other hand, new visa and other entry restrictions are expected to continue being imposed on travellers, and security concerns will continue to affect travel due to conflicts happening worldwide. Climate change and natural disasters will have an even bigger impact on travel, with the expansion of climate-sensitive infectious diseases and other extreme phenomena.
As travel risk continues to evolve, with new threats emerging and existing ones becoming more complex, accurate travel risk intelligence remains a key tool for keeping travellers informed. By providing realtime information on potential risks, organizations can take proactive measures to mitigate any potential dangers and enhance the safety of their travellers.
Stay informed, embrace realtime travel risk intelligence, and make 2024 a year of successful and safe business journeys.
The world faces two interlaced problems that are having an outsized impact on public health: climate change and insecurity, which will continue to impact travel tremendously.
In 2023, we saw the outbreak of new conflicts with several precarious situations on the brink going into the new year. Unfortunately, few of those ongoing conflicts have improved or ended.
