HIGHER RISK DESTINATIONS

Several governments, such as France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium and many others have travel advisory and warning websites intended for their citizens that have to travel abroad. These services are excellent and usually are very comprehensive for the great majority of travellers needs. They normally share common definitions and have the same destinations under travel warnings. The scope of the websites is to inform travellers of the risks to their personal safety while away and is based on news reports, current events and when information becomes available. The information is therefore reactive in nature which can be significant due to the absence of indications of anticipated changes to the security situation of a specific destination. The absence of indicators is referred to as an information gap. Your government is not in the business of assessing the likelihood of future events for you; they will advise you based on the current security situation and that advice is generic in nature. 
We at PAR-SEC Consulting offer the professional service of analyzing the specifics of our clients' travel information requirements and assess how the security situation will evolve for the duration of where they will be. We then advise and recommend certain courses of action so our clients remain safe while away and return home unharmed. We therefore fill all information gaps that have been identified, a service that governments do not offer.
How tragic can it be when a traveller is inadvertently trapped in a foreign nation due to a rapidly occurring political event, a sudden terrorist attack or because of a natural disaster? It can happen more often than not and examples are found in the medias everywhere daily.
We usually offer our services for travellers that require to travel to what we refer to as higher risk countries and regions. We do not openly recommend travel to areas where wars are occurring. We specialize in regions where specific security concerns have been identified and are still evolving, effectively covering information gaps left out by government websites. The following is a partial list for some of the usual countries that we assess as at higher risk and for where the security situation is still negatively evolving. (For a complete list please contact us):
Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Belize, Bolivia, Cambodia, the People's Republic of China, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Georgia, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Israel, Kenya, Madagascar, Mexico, Morocco, Oman, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Suriname, Thailand, Tunisia, the U.A.E., Venezuela, Vietnam or Zambia. 
We offer two distinct services: vulnerability assessment reports for tourists and more specific reports addressing the security requirements of business travellers.
Countries such as Afghanistan, Syria, Mali, Pakistan, Iraq or Somalia should be avoided for travel and we do not openly recommend.
Finally, you must know that when travelling to higher risk countries your government will require their citizens to check their destination travel advisories while planning the trip and just prior to leaving. In addition they leave the risk of travel entirely to the citizen, where information gaps exist, detrimental for proper guidance.


Every travel destination is uniquely different and requires adequate research, analysis and accurate assessments to properly advise against the possible threats and hazards. We welcome inquiries so we can determine your security needs. Your first consultation is always free.
