Business Travel Risks I have not thought of before

Posted by Alexander Ilg on May 2, 2016 2:31:47 PM

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.


Thanks god I am somebody who has no problems with dirt in general and germs in specific - I traveled to Thailand and Venezuela and had zero health issues . But some people quickly get health problems when they face germs. The following infographics show the germiest surfaces in hotels and airplanes.
