WEEKLY ROUND-UP #33 (18 MAY-25 MAY)


We will go back to some of our tweets of interest of the past week and expand further on the indicators that we presented as they affect the security situation of a country. When we produce vulnerability assessments for our clients, six threat factors are analyzed and assessed while four hazards are also analyzed and assessed. If gaps are identified they are covered by atmospherics elements. The goal of our tweets is to highlight and provide examples of the research that we do.
 
From 23 May:
 
1.  "Tunisia update: Tourism down "drastically" since Bardo museum attack. Empty resorts, empty hotels & empty souks. Tourism is 7% of GDP..."
 
From 24 May:
 
2.  "Kenya update: @MagicalKenya hires @CNN to "get back tourists". Tourism is an important source of revenues as threats of terrorism risks from extremism rise there. Good example of travel promotion potentially at cost of unnecessarily risking lives or collateral threats".
3.  "Brazil update: Recent wave of knive attacks in Rio in which western tourists were targeted. Police to patrol tourist hubs to prevent further crimes. Much work must be done prior to @Rio2016 to guarantee minimum visitor safety. See us if you plan travel there."
Our Comment: Visibly travel is not getting safer while corporations and countries alike must become more creative and persuasive to attract travellers, business and leisure types alike. Our analysts see almost daily examples of travel related marketing for destinations that are not what they are highlighted as and some readers can attest to that from past experience. On one hand your government travel advisories are helpful however do rarely provide insight of particular interest and almost never make projections, usually reacting to recent events in order to advise their expats or for those soon to travel. The above examples of tweets that we provide illustrate the complexity of today's travel. On the other hand, there are many complicated and costly travel risk mitigation and solution from the security industry, often out of reach to many travellers. We at PAR-SEC Consulting offer accurate vulnerability assessments covering six threats as well as four hazards that are specific to your itinerary, never generic projections.
