Do you think – overall – organisations provide adequate travel risk
management? Do you feel some countries are
better than others? Why is it so essential right now?
I don't think that companies yet provide fully adequate travel risk management but there is a growing focus on it and while larger companies are often better prepared due to the widespread recognition of risks and availability of resources, smaller and medium sized companies are increasingly aware of the need to have a plan in place but often have less resource. It is particularly important now where the risks at least appear to be growing and it is an opportunity to advise travellers on the various risks surrounding travel. I don't know if certain countries are better than others but those such as the UK, US and Germany as well as Asia-Pac countries are likely the most focused.

What’s the biggest challenge facing buyers now and why?
Getting senior management and colleagues from different departments involved (establishing ownership and types of risks), communicating effectively with travellers as well as understanding the different types of risks that can affect travellers.

What’s the biggest opportunity they should be taking advantage of and
why?
Keeping up with publications to constantly review your travel risk programme, using the resources you have and speaking to your security provider regularly.

Why is it important to have a summit dedicated to buyers in the Nordics
and Benelux?
Because of the number of companies based in this area who engage in regular international travel including travel between these countries.
