There are security risks all around the world, even at home, imagine the risks one would encounter in a foreign environment, where there are cultural differences, unique political situations, and where there might be civil unrest, health-related issues, and high crime rates, among others.

Crownox’s across-the-board program stems from its flexibility. We are aware that every company has unique needs and distinct operations, that is why we will work closely with you and your team in order to produce the most suitable framework for your travel plans, that takes into consideration the area, and the travelers’ profile.
A sound business decision must be based on knowledge, facts, and a pragmatic assessment of the situation at hand. With the aim to assist you in the decision-making process when traveling to a particular country or region, and to make sure your employees are informed and well-educated before their journey, we start by providing an in-depth assessment that includes challenges the country/region is facing, and concludes with recommendations based on clients’ requests.
The assessment offers country-specific information and expands on all relevant details regarding health and safety. In addition to the travel assessment, we also provide orientation, guidance and country entry training to travelers ahead of their journey. The orientation and the training are aimed at making travelers knowledgeable about the resources accessible to them in case of an emergency, preparing them for crisis management and familiarizing them with the emergency plans at hand, communication mediums and code of behavior.
In-depth assessment that includes an overview, latest developments, and challenges the country/region is facing such as: cultural, political, civil, security and safety concerns, health risks and required vaccinations, crime risks, sexual harassment and rape incidents, kidnappings, natural disasters among others.
