60% of business travelers visit “high risk” destinations each year, according to a survey from travel, medical and security assistance firm International SOS. 16% travel to high risk destinations five or more times in a single year writes expathealth.org

By conducting the survey the company was able to identify the information travelers wanted most from their employers and medical care providers:

• Specific city and local-level information on the quality of medical services

• Disease risks

• Vaccination advice

• Medication Availability

The survey sample consisted of 4,746 respondents working in various industries, including technology, manufacturing, oil/gas/mining, financial services and telecommunication.
