Is Peru Safe to Travel To Amidst Recent Political Turmoil?
December 21, 2022Safe Travel To Peru: Options and Duty of Care
Safe travel to Peru calls for extensive planning, especially when traveling for work. For business travelers wondering if the ongoing political unrest in the country poses risk to their corporate travel plans, things have taken a turn for the worse. Many corporate travelers should be exploring business travel management solutions from a travel management company that can ensure their safety as the country dips into further turmoil.
While Peru’s former president made efforts to re-write the country’s constitution, disassemble congress, and sow division among the public, the country has become a growing risk for those visiting for the sake of business. North American corporate travelers heading to Peru should use extreme caution as the country’s former president Pedro Castillo’s recent impeachment has prompted even further civil unrest that can result in a range of unpleasant consequences for those visiting for work.
Safe Travel To Peru: Solutions For Traveling Workforces
Peru has, unfortunately, had a long history of political corruption that has flowed into the streets of the country’s many rural and metropolitan areas. Peru’s rich mining industry has many North American corporate travelers visiting, but also heading to remote parts of the country. Spontaneous protests, political demonstrations, and terrorist acts have become increasingly common across the country not just in cities, but also in small towns. These risks have serious potential to disrupt travel plans and could prompt events of violent assault or even kidnapping for ransom against corporate travelers.
Fulfilling your duty of care obligations to provide a safe workplace for all employees, including those who travel internationally, should be conducted alongside a specialized business travel management company that can ensure the safe movements of staff and protect them from any risks. Should your business fail to make efforts to address such risks, the company could experience complex liability issues in the event the unthinkable happens to one of your workers.
