Dubai, November, 6,2023
With the current travel reality as complex as ever , International SOS, the world's leading
health and security services company, is thrilled to announce its development of an
enhanced safe accommodation service. This will support clients in providing travelling staff
with secure accommodation options, a key component of wider travel risk management
plan, as specified by ISO 31030:2021. The enhanced offering from International SOS
includes a tailored workforce resilience subscription, 24/7 assistance, expert consulting
services and a brand-new partnership with Safehotels, the world’s leading hotel safety and
security certification company.
Increasing rates of travel, post-Covid restrictions, and recent geopolitical tensions have
amplified the need for businesses to assess the safety and security of the accommodation
used by their travelling workforce and assignees. While most stays occur without incident,
the importance of reviewing accommodation risks has been highlighted in recent years by
terrorism becoming more prevalent , including attacks against hotels.
In light of this, International SOS has significantly bolstered its capabilities for advising
businesses on keeping employees safe when staying abroad through its enhanced Hotel
Security Advisor feature. International SOS’ long-standing expertise and robust assessment
methodology in managing hotel incidents, including in Mumbai, Bamako, Ouagadougou and
Jakarta. This is in addition to an operational capability in a variety of risk environments
