Pre-Travel Briefing

Equipping travellers with confidence from the start

Be ready before you
depart

Preparation is the cornerstone of safe travel. Pre-Travel Briefings equip employees with essential knowledge ahead of departure, reducing uncertainty and building confidence. Briefings can be provided in written form or delivered through structured interactive sessions, distilling relevant intelligence and practical guidance into a clear, traveller-friendly format.
LogoDestination Security Overview

An executive summary of the country (or city) security status – including recent incidents, the general crime level, terrorism threats, and areas of concern. We highlight any special warnings (for example, if there’s an elevated kidnapping risk in certain regions, or if protests are ongoing in a city).

Important health advisories such as required vaccinations, prevalent illnesses, COVID-19 rules, and the quality of local medical facilities. We also summarize entry requirements (visas, testing, etc.) and any travel documents to prepare.

Key cultural customs to respect (e.g. dress codes, etiquette, religious considerations) and local laws that travellers must heed (for instance, items or behaviours legal at home but prohibited in the destination). Understanding these helps travellers avoid inadvertent trouble and show respect to hosts.

Advice on safe modes of transport (Is it recommended to hail street taxis? Which car services are reputable?), communication (will their phone work locally, are there known scams targeting foreigners via SIM cards?), money usage (currency tips and ATM safety), and any “do’s and don’ts” specific to navigating that environment.

We ensure each traveller knows what to do and whom to call in an emergency. The briefing includes important contacts like your organisation’s security focal point, ASRM’s 24/7 emergency line, and local embassy/consulate numbers. We also advise on the location of nearest hospitals or safe havens if relevant.

Briefings that turn uncertainty into confidence

Pre-travel briefings can be tailored to traveller profile and purpose – from senior executives attending conferences to personnel deploying into remote or higher-risk environments. Briefings focus on clear, practical guidance relevant to the specific journey, helping travellers understand context, risks, and expectations before departure.
 
Structured preparation demonstrates a commitment to employee safety while reducing avoidable exposure. When travellers arrive informed and aware, uncertainty is reduced and confidence is increased – supporting safer, more effective travel and operations.
