With a global increase in terrorism, regime changes and a rise in organised crime that can only be likened to the spread of a viral contagious disease, traveling tips and protection security advice has never been in such demand for an entrepreneur visiting foreign destinations. The best security advice comes out of the close protection world, because the role of a professional bodyguard is often dedicated to protecting the lives of travelling entrepreneurs.

Close Protection World Traveling Tips # 1 Alter Your Mind-Set

Just about every entrepreneur I have ever provided protection security services for operated in what security specialists call, 'Condition White.' This means they go through their daily life blissfully unaware of any real security problems.

Anyone professionally engaged in the close protection world will advise anyone under their protection to alter their mind-set from Condition White. This can be achieved through participating in basic close protection travel security training.

Close Protection World Traveling Tips # 2 Trust No One

The first commandment of close protection security training is to 'Trust No-One.' Every entrepreneur needs to understand that this is not some form of protection security paranoia. It is actually professional paranoia specifically designed to minimise the risk to every VIP being provided with a protective service.

Close Protection World Traveling Tips # 3 The Rules

Just about every protection security training programme I've ever taught in 43 countries or other training programmes I've attended go to great lengths to educate clients under their protection about the rules. Every entrepreneur VIP is taught the first rule of combat, which is, there are no rules.

Irrespective of how well trained and experienced the close protect team members are security problems can manifest from nowhere. Opportunist attacks cannot always be identified prior to occurrence so the close protection officers have to maintain an element of flexibility granted by virtue of operating under the: 'there are no rules.'

Close Protection World Traveling Tips # 4 Kidnap For Ransom Insurance

It goes without saying that contemporary criminal and terrorist Modus Operandi includes kidnap for ransom. As part of our protection security advice we advise every entrepreneur travelling overseas to have full kidnap for ransom Insurance, known in the security trade as K&R Insurance. Many Insurance brokers offer this policy which is typically underwritten by Lloyds of London.

Close Protection World Traveling Tips # 5 Hard Currency

One of the best protection security tips for any entrepreneur is to always ensure you discreetly carry a wad of hard currency notes like USA dollars. Quite often minor security problems can be prevented from escalating into major security problems by greasing the palm of minor players in a criminal gang.

Hard currency dollars are also a useful inducement for gaining intelligence from people on the peripheral of criminal and terrorist organisations. I can attest to the fact that myself and members of my close protection teams have utilised hard currency payments to get us out of potential security problems on more than one occasion.

Think of your hard currency as your 'get out of jail card,' but never let anyone know you are carrying hard currency, and never brag or boast about your stash.
