Abandoned abroad?

They also seem to be urgently recommended: Because if you follow the results of the study, then feel quite a few business travelers are left alone by their employers abroad. A third of business travelers even complain about bad experiences in foreign countries.

The list of unpleasant occurrences is long, including the experience:

  1. Passport is not included,
  2. Stolen passport,
  3. Problems at customs,
  4. political unrest in Reiseland, which swirls the plans together.

More information in advance would have helped

33 percent of business travelers suddenly found themselves abroad without a passport. 32 percent each had to do with political unrest or customs problems in foreign countries. Apparently there is often a lack of information about which ones risks lurking in the destination country, which documents are required or which goods may be exported.

And they find that quite a lot Problem could have been avoided with better information in advance. In addition, 47 percent of those surveyed stated that they were on their own in the event of incidents during the trip.

Professional risk management

After all, many companies offer professional risk management. 55 percent of respondents state that their Company e.g. provides return plans. The three most commonly offered Measures are there:

  1. Return plans for illness,
  2. Help with lost papers and
  3. an emergency contact person in the company or travel agency

After all, 82 percent of travelers can rely on being treated on a European level or being taken home by their company.

Replacement of papers

79 percent of the business travelers receive from their employer the replacement of lost or stolen papers. Just as often, contacts are available during the trip.

However, business travelers do not find the support they need in every company. When political unrest and other crises actually occur locally, every second person is still on their own.
