Street Smart Travel

Street Smart Travel
A Detective's Guide to Avoiding Travel Pitfalls
Making sure your travelers are "street smart" which traveling, especially overseas can be vital – especially when you consider the various mishaps and critical events they can be exposed to.

Everyone travels – whether for business or leisure, however, having an increased level of "street-smart" awareness can make a huge difference to the outcome of your travelers' domestic and international trips. Additionally, it takes more than the old adage "just use common sense" to avoid many of the various travel mishaps, especially when you think about ever-increasing global challenges they face.

One of the best investments an organization can make with its travelers is to invest in increasing its travelers "street smart" travel safety skills, especially since today's criminals are bolder, more calculated, and widely experienced in committing crimes and scams against them. When you also take into consideration the increase of terrorist events occurring both domestically and internationally, empowering travelers to respond to incidents like these – on their own – is even more critical to their safety.

Identity theft can happen to anyone. Identity thieves can steal your money, harm your credit rating, and damage one of your most precious possessions, your good name!

Your personal information is everywhere and can be easily accessed. Identity theft occurs when a thief steals that personal identifying information, such as a social security number, bank or credit card account numbers and then uses that information to masquerade as you. The thief assumes your identity, opens new credit card accounts, robs your bank accounts and devastates your financial standing. It can take years to repair. We are all at risk of ID theft!
