Whether you are a seasoned business traveler or heading out on your first trip there are a number of new factors to consider when preparing for your trip. This includes understanding the rules and regulations of your destination, knowing what you might need to bring on your trip that wasn’t necessary before, and ensuring you are armed with the tools that will enable you to keep up to date and in-touch while on the road.
Your Corporate Traveler travel consultant can assist in helping you understand the travel restrictions currently in place when traveling locally or abroad. IATA also provides a summary of international restrictions.
