•	Inform colleagues and staff not to release information about your travel and business itinerary to unauthorised personnel or strangers.
•	Wealthy business people and those working for high profile multi-national companies who travel to 'high-risk' countries, should consider arranging special kidnap, ransom and extortion insurance.
