Travel Safety: Safety Tips For Personal And Corporate Travellers

"In the unlikely event of an emergency..." ...What would you do? This book is a manual for those unlikely emergencies, written by people who travel often. A book created by experts. A book that tells real stories. A book that deals with some of the scary realities of travel - from drug plants to kidnapping. In 2010 Craig Bidois, the Director of a security consulting company got in touch with a travel podcaster Craig Martin. Bidois was frustrated by the quality of travel safety information available to everyday travellers. Books were dull or out of date; magazine articles were so brief; blog posts sometimes giving dangerous advice. What could they do? Travel Safety: Safety Tips For Personal And Corporate Travellers was born out of this frustration. Finally a book written by experts - a consultant and a full-time traveller - that goes beyond cliches. But the important thing is that Travel Safety doesn't leave you scared about leaving home. The authors' love of travel really shines through, and their dry sense of humour shows its head as well. Travel Safety is a book that business people can read and put into practice, parents can buy for their children as they head off on their worldwide adventures, families can make use of as they go on vacation. Now you can travel around the world without fearing the people around you. You can immerse yourself in foreign cultures, secure in the knowledge that you can look after yourself. The world is a fantastic place. It's time to go and see it.
