Passport to Safe Travels:
Practical Advice for Affluent Travelers




                                             White Paper
                             Provided by HUB International
Charles and Nancy stepped off the airplane and onto the

tarmac at the small airport in Central America—again.

Their favorite vacation getaway, they ended up buying

a cottage there and spending extended long weekends

once every two to three months. They were well-known

as the rich American couple who lived near the beach

about 15 miles from the small air strip. The more often

they visited, the more like home it felt. As a result, they

became less cautious on their last few trips—“we are as

safe here as we are in the United States,” they recently

told their friends. On a recent arrival, just as they were

about to step into the back seat of their car, Charles

noticed it was not their usual car or driver. Luckily, they

had worked with their advisor to put a plan in place in

case anything seemed out of the ordinary.
Executive Summary

“The world is shrinking” has long been a catch phrase to describe how accessible the world has become; however it should also
remind us of the proximity to danger. For anyone whose business and pleasure activities take them across the globe, that means
leaving nothing to chance when it comes to ensuring their safety.

The risks facing today’s travelers include kidnapping, hijacking, terrorism, and crime. Advisors to affluent clients who travel for
business or pleasure need to think through everything from managing petty theft and lost passports, to kidnapping, to accessing
emergency medical care in a remote location.

This white paper covers the importance of proper planning and understanding the basics of personal safety when in an unfamiliar
environment. It includes a checklist of common sense safety tips to reduce the primary risk of being the victim of a crime while
traveling in a foreign country.

The prospect of being kidnapped is not as far-fetched as it may have been years ago. Today, it is a serious threat in many parts of
the globe. This under-reported crime has become more complicated and dangerous in recent years. Some top security firms are
retained by insurers to work with policyholders to counsel them prior to a trip and take charge in the event of a kidnapping. A life
and death outcome can be predicated on the level of experience the negotiating team has, how well they diagnose the situation,
and how quickly they respond.

Finding, obtaining, and paying for medical care in a country where a client has no physician or hospital relationships, no immediate
access to personal medical records, and does not speak the local language can create risks. Travelers are advised to have a clear
understanding of the available health care and local practices in cities and countries on their itinerary and decide if they need to
rely on expert resources to help facilitate access to emergency care as well as consider insurance for overseas medical care or
evacuation.

Insurers today offer a plethora of resources, experts and products to reduce the risks facing affluent individuals when they travel.
The right insurance, security advice and partners can mitigate the risks, but only if the individual takes full advantage of the counsel
they receive and exercises round-the-clock vigilance.




                                       The first line of defense is
                                     the active, diligent attention
                                          and proper planning to
                                         make certain individuals

HUB International
                            Safe Travel Checklist


HUB International offers the following tips for individuals who are traveling internationally:
  Learn as much as you can about the country you are visiting before you leave. You should be aware of the
  political and cultural climate, health/safety risks, active criminal and terrorist groups, and their propensity for
  kidnap and extortion. There are a number of travel security resources available, some of which provide ongoing
  travel alerts.

  Depending on your destination and your medical condition, you may want to plan for how you will cover the
  substantial expenses associated with hospitalization and/or medical evacuation. There are a number of travel
  insurance and emergency evacuation plans that provide cost effective coverage.

  Carry your medications in the original containers with copies of the original prescriptions.

  Remove all personal information from luggage tags. Use a small, discreet tag that includes your employer
  name and business address. If your luggage is lost, you can reclaim it with a business card and photo
  identification.

  Do not honor requests to transport letters or packages from people you don’t know, no matter how innocent
  they appear.

  Keep your cash and high value items in the hotel safe.

  Leave expensive jewelry at home. The majority of insurance claims placed by individuals while traveling are
  related to jewelry losses. In many cases, these losses resulted from individuals accidentally leaving their
  valuables behind.

  Book a hotel room between the third and sixth floors. A room below the third floor can pose a potential
  security concern. A room on the seventh floor or higher makes fire rescue and evacuation more difficult.

  Do not discuss your travel plans with hotel staff members or reveal your personal information to casual
  acquaintances.

  When you leave your hotel for the day, secure your luggage with plastic luggage ties. Inexpensive and easy to
  use, these ties can keep your personal items safe from anyone who comes into your room.

  Never leave your laptop unattended. In light of the increasing risk of identity theft, you should travel only
  with the data that you absolutely need. If you are traveling for business, have your employer install a highly
  encrypted program on your laptop to reduce the risk of hacking.

  Exercise caution in using ATMs. Avoid alerting bystanders that you may be carrying a large sum of cash. ATM
  transactions should only be done during the day, and only inside a financial institution. Avoid using ATMs that
  are located on the street.

     Additional Safety Tips for High Net Worth Travelers
     International travel presents unique security concerns for high net worth individuals and corporate executives.
     Many choose to seek the guidance of a personal security advisor who will help them plan their trip and be
     available in case of an emergency. Risk Control Strategies (RCS), a firm that specializes in threat management,
     investigations and security solutions for corporations and the high net worth community recommends the
     following tips:

       Know who has access to your travel itinerary. Ask if the employees at your travel agency have been screened
       by their employer. Background checks should be conducted on anyone who has access to your personal
       information.

       Conduct background checks on staff members traveling with you. If you hire a professional security firm,
       ask them to conduct background investigations on your nannies, housekeepers, chefs, chauffeurs, pilots,
       yacht captains and first officers.

       Secure a personal driver on the ground. Depending on the travel destination, you may opt to hire a personal
       driver who has been screened for safety. Some security consultants employ drivers worldwide who have been
       carefully investigated. Avoid cabs and/or rental cars. Having someone do the driving for you enables you to
       enjoy your travels and arrive safely.

       Secure a Kidnap & Ransom policy before you go. This applies to all international locations, not just the
       countries or regions that have been deemed “hot spots.” Kidnap & Ransom insurance can help protect
       individuals in the event of an actual kidnapping and assist in the safe release of the victim. If children are
       traveling with you, they each need their own individual policies. Older children who are studying abroad should
       also have their own insurance policy.

       Consider destination medical planning – If you have a serious or complex health problem, consider hiring
       an expert who can arrange for customized medical services and resources to be in place wherever you go.

  • 1. Passport to Safe Travels: Practical Advice for Affluent Travelers White Paper Provided by HUB International
  • 2. Charles and Nancy stepped off the airplane and onto the tarmac at the small airport in Central America—again. Their favorite vacation getaway, they ended up buying a cottage there and spending extended long weekends once every two to three months. They were well-known as the rich American couple who lived near the beach about 15 miles from the small air strip. The more often they visited, the more like home it felt. As a result, they became less cautious on their last few trips—“we are as safe here as we are in the United States,” they recently told their friends. On a recent arrival, just as they were about to step into the back seat of their car, Charles noticed it was not their usual car or driver. Luckily, they had worked with their advisor to put a plan in place in case anything seemed out of the ordinary.
  • 3. Executive Summary “The world is shrinking” has long been a catch phrase to describe how accessible the world has become; however it should also remind us of the proximity to danger. For anyone whose business and pleasure activities take them across the globe, that means leaving nothing to chance when it comes to ensuring their safety. The risks facing today’s travelers include kidnapping, hijacking, terrorism, and crime. Advisors to affluent clients who travel for business or pleasure need to think through everything from managing petty theft and lost passports, to kidnapping, to accessing emergency medical care in a remote location. This white paper covers the importance of proper planning and understanding the basics of personal safety when in an unfamiliar environment. It includes a checklist of common sense safety tips to reduce the primary risk of being the victim of a crime while traveling in a foreign country. The prospect of being kidnapped is not as far-fetched as it may have been years ago. Today, it is a serious threat in many parts of the globe. This under-reported crime has become more complicated and dangerous in recent years. Some top security firms are retained by insurers to work with policyholders to counsel them prior to a trip and take charge in the event of a kidnapping. A life and death outcome can be predicated on the level of experience the negotiating team has, how well they diagnose the situation, and how quickly they respond. Finding, obtaining, and paying for medical care in a country where a client has no physician or hospital relationships, no immediate access to personal medical records, and does not speak the local language can create risks. Travelers are advised to have a clear understanding of the available health care and local practices in cities and countries on their itinerary and decide if they need to rely on expert resources to help facilitate access to emergency care as well as consider insurance for overseas medical care or evacuation. Insurers today offer a plethora of resources, experts and products to reduce the risks facing affluent individuals when they travel. The right insurance, security advice and partners can mitigate the risks, but only if the individual takes full advantage of the counsel they receive and exercises round-the-clock vigilance. The first line of defense is the active, diligent attention and proper planning to make certain individuals understand the basics of personal safety to decrease their personal vulnerability. 3

Haiti and Iraq are absent from the top ten that petty criminals are opportunistic and they don’t need to rankings after years of high levels of incidents.1 look far for victims. Airports, hotels, and upscale restaurants are target-rich environments. While many world governments may underreport kidnappings because they don’t want to discourage travel to their “Many Americans stick out like a sore thumb. U.S. passports respective countries, experts estimate that there are as many are blue and Americans wave them around in the open at as 15,000 annually—even though they acknowledge precise airports telegraphing the fact they are Americans,” says Guidry. numbers are hard to come by because only a fraction of “Always keep a passport in a secure pocket and bring it out incidents are reported.2 only when necessary.

  • 9. HUB International Safe Travel Checklist HUB International offers the following tips for individuals who are traveling internationally: Learn as much as you can about the country you are visiting before you leave. You should be aware of the political and cultural climate, health/safety risks, active criminal and terrorist groups, and their propensity for kidnap and extortion. There are a number of travel security resources available, some of which provide ongoing travel alerts. Depending on your destination and your medical condition, you may want to plan for how you will cover the substantial expenses associated with hospitalization and/or medical evacuation. There are a number of travel insurance and emergency evacuation plans that provide cost effective coverage. Carry your medications in the original containers with copies of the original prescriptions. Remove all personal information from luggage tags. Use a small, discreet tag that includes your employer name and business address. If your luggage is lost, you can reclaim it with a business card and photo identification. Do not honor requests to transport letters or packages from people you don’t know, no matter how innocent they appear. Keep your cash and high value items in the hotel safe. Leave expensive jewelry at home. The majority of insurance claims placed by individuals while traveling are related to jewelry losses. In many cases, these losses resulted from individuals accidentally leaving their valuables behind. Book a hotel room between the third and sixth floors. A room below the third floor can pose a potential security concern. A room on the seventh floor or higher makes fire rescue and evacuation more difficult. Do not discuss your travel plans with hotel staff members or reveal your personal information to casual acquaintances. When you leave your hotel for the day, secure your luggage with plastic luggage ties. Inexpensive and easy to use, these ties can keep your personal items safe from anyone who comes into your room. Never leave your laptop unattended. In light of the increasing risk of identity theft, you should travel only with the data that you absolutely need. If you are traveling for business, have your employer install a highly encrypted program on your laptop to reduce the risk of hacking. Exercise caution in using ATMs. Avoid alerting bystanders that you may be carrying a large sum of cash. ATM transactions should only be done during the day, and only inside a financial institution. Avoid using ATMs that are located on the street.
  • 10. HUB International Safe Travels Checklist Additional Safety Tips for High Net Worth Travelers International travel presents unique security concerns for high net worth individuals and corporate executives. Many choose to seek the guidance of a personal security advisor who will help them plan their trip and be available in case of an emergency. Risk Control Strategies (RCS), a firm that specializes in threat management, investigations and security solutions for corporations and the high net worth community recommends the following tips: Know who has access to your travel itinerary. Ask if the employees at your travel agency have been screened by their employer. Background checks should be conducted on anyone who has access to your personal information. Conduct background checks on staff members traveling with you. If you hire a professional security firm, ask them to conduct background investigations on your nannies, housekeepers, chefs, chauffeurs, pilots, yacht captains and first officers. Secure a personal driver on the ground. Depending on the travel destination, you may opt to hire a personal driver who has been screened for safety. Some security consultants employ drivers worldwide who have been carefully investigated. Avoid cabs and/or rental cars. Having someone do the driving for you enables you to enjoy your travels and arrive safely. Secure a Kidnap & Ransom policy before you go. This applies to all international locations, not just the countries or regions that have been deemed “hot spots.” Kidnap & Ransom insurance can help protect individuals in the event of an actual kidnapping and assist in the safe release of the victim. If children are traveling with you, they each need their own individual policies. Older children who are studying abroad should also have their own insurance policy. Consider destination medical planning – If you have a serious or complex health problem, consider hiring an expert who can arrange for customized medical services and resources to be in place wherever you go.
