There are different kind of risks a business traveler is facing. First of all most people will think of their mission and the risks it brings. They travel because they have to repair a machine, close a deal, deliver a training or push the business in a new territory. They always have the risk that their mission will fail. Not everybody is thinking about the risks not directly related to their business - taxation in other countries, immigration, customs, terror, natural disasters and health risks. What we present you today is falling into the last category.

But some people quickly get health problems when they face germs. The following infographics show the germiest surfaces in hotels and airplanes.
