TAMPA,
Fla. - (BUSINESS WIRE)-Sept. 7, 19999-As international business travel
proliferates, more than one-third of U.S. corporations may be unprepared
to manage company traveler emergencies, according to a survey conducted
by Abrams Travel Data Services on behalf of Leslie Saunders Insurance
& Marketing International (LSIMI). Overseas traveler emergencies,
which include medical crises, lost property or documents, and crime
incidents, are more common than might be expected. |
28%
of survey respondents experienced at least one-to-ten emergencies
during the past year. However, 37% of surveyed companies have no formal
program in place for managing these critical situations. |
