Travel advisories part of corporate travel management

Travel management company, BCD Travel, keeps its corporate travel clients abreast of major security alerts and advisories as they are issued by the Federal Government, providing advice and assistance to business travel clients intending to visit countries for business or leisure where alerts have been issued.

Alerts can be issued for a number of reasons, including security and health. The most recent advisories related to security involve the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Spain, Thailand and Somalia. Health advisories have been issued for countries such as Vanuatu, where a series of dengue fever outbreaks have been recently recorded.

Part of corporate travel management is keeping corporate travel clients updated on major new alerts. The five levels of travel advisories are: ‘be alert to your own security’; ‘exercise caution and monitor developments that might affect your safety’; ‘exercise a high degree of caution’; ‘reconsider your need to travel’ and ‘advised not to travel’.
