Empowering travellers to take care and stay safe. Like you, travel safety & security expert Georges-Pierre Cladogenis has seen the way we travel change drastically over the past few years. Was it only due to a few high profile events that occurred recently? Or a more global trend pushing us toward significantly more day to day disruption? What does that mean for the travellers?
