The recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, are a sobering reminder of the importance of personal security measures when undertaking business travel abroad, according to leading travel management company (TMC), BCD Travel.
BCD Travel, the world’s third largest business travel company in 1500 locations across 90 countries, recommends that all corporate travellers and leisure travellers register their personal details and itineraries with the Federal Government’s online registration service at smarttraveller.gov.au. The government recently relied on this registration service to track down the scores of Australians staying in Mumbai during the terrorist attacks.
BCD Travel has a ‘traveller tracking’ facility within its corporate travel management program that allows it to immediately identify corporate travel clients in locations where security threats have occurred. In these circumstances, BCD Travel will also contact clients that have booked impending trips to such places to offer information, advice and assistance.
BCD Travel highly recommends travel insurance to its corporate travel clients and suggests that all travellers check the latest travel advisories issued by the Federal Government at smarttraveller.gov.au.
