Imagine one of your top salesmen wins a contract in Asia and has to fly there to seal the deal. What if the $5000 trip needs to be laid off due to a public health problem, disaster or another disruption?

You might expect refundable business class tickets to allow them being laid off or that the company investment is protected by travel “waivers” offered by the travel agents. Sometimes this is the case but not always. Waivers apply to very specific circumstances and are loosely regulated. Always remember to read the small print to understand exactly what your rights are.

The alternative, of course, is to take out travel insurance. This way you can manage the risk of changing business travel plans and add other types of cover to the policy, proving extra security to your employee. Travel insurance can entail a complete risk management plan designed to protect the employee, company and investment.

Without a revolution in planning controls, the majority will be forced to continue relying on private vehicles to get around. However, there is a possible glimmer of hope. During the early part of this recession, the price of gas rose to $4 and more a gallon. Many people responded by driving less or driving more slowly to economize on fuel. As a result, there were fewer serious accidents and fatalities were reduced. This was one of the few good things to come out of the price increases.
