How to manage international travel in a time of insecurity

The news out of Texas, New York and Colorado in the past two weeks has been worrying, to say the least. New York City is one of the world´s business centres hosting headquarters of some of the world´s largest companies and organisations, meaning travelling to the city is almost inevitable for most businesses.

Within the last six months, there have been over 30 threats to international travel ranging from political unrest, civil war, demonstrations and severe weather.
