The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) crisis of 2020 has dramatically shifted the global situation in a matter of months, a perfect example of the complexity and change that you need to navigate; no matter where you go.

Among the pandemic situation, political unrest is rife. Protests have occurred across the world, as well as rioting and looting in the United States. This is unlikely to ease up in the short term.

Will a contracting global economy result in increased levels of petty crime in poorer areas?

Will the lifting of travel bans mean that business opportunities open up across the globe?

Whatever the case might be, being prepared for what the world throws at you will enable you to weather the storms of a changing world, and seize opportunity where others hesitate.

The world is a dangerous place. It is complex, ever-changing and dynamic. Unknown environments bring risk and uncertainty.

Opportunity is out there. However, the path is not always clear.

From first world to third, challenges exist within all environments, and with these challenges, come risk and uncertainty.

You and those you're travelling with don’t need to be directly involved, to be caught up in dangerous situations and chaos.

Protests become riots, airports close, petty crime, unexpected altercations, terror attacks; a lot can happen to people who are bystanders.

Dangerous situations love people who are unaware of what is happening around them.

Threats to personal safety, personal information and/or business information exist no matter where you travel to.

These are not only threats to you; they are threats to the people you care about and who rely on you.

2019 and into 2020 has seen significant unrest from Asia to Latin America, Western Europe to the Mediterranean and the Middle East to North America .

Sophisticated Kidnap-for-Ransom operations, Extortion Operations, trends in Violent Crime changing and migrating from region to region, Terrorism, regional Political Unrest and Violence; the list goes on.

The Deciport Travel Security and Safety Workshop is designed to introduce you to understanding, planning and moving within environments where risk and uncertainty exist, in a manner that doesn’t require you to be a security expert from the beginning.
