As the peak summer travel season is underway, International SOS, the world’s
leading health and security services company, is urging organisations to
prioritise the health and safety of their travelling employees. With summer
travel reaching record highs, especially from the GCC and wider Middle Eastern
regions, comprehensive pre-travel planning, and efficient risk mitigation
strategies are becoming more essential to ensure a healthier and safer travel in
the season.
Summer’s warmer temperatures and the corresponding rise in outdoor activities
around the globe are creating a heightened risk environment for health and
safety. These risks are amplified for travellers with unfamiliar destinations,
where individuals may encounter food and waterborne illnesses, vector-borne
diseases and excessive sun exposure.
