Incidences of kidnapping, ransom and extortion are a very real threat to business travellers, particularly when working in areas of extreme poverty or political unrest. Even in situations where a ransom was threatened, but wasn’t paid, there are considerable costs related to negotiations, investigations, legal expenses, forensics, security, consultations and public relations.
