What issues should I know about as a frequent Business traveller?
Advice for Business Travellers This advice identifies a few key points you should consider in advance of your trip – it is not comprehensive. Business travel usually refers to those going on short trips and usually involves staying in good standard accommodation. Stomach upsets and diarrhoea These are very common. Contaminated food and water is a major cause of illness and care is especially important when eating out and in countries where local hygiene is poor. Unaccustomed spices or oil in food as well as alcohol can also lead to stomach upsets. You should consider taking an anti-diarrhoeal preparation. Tiredness and jet lag These problems may be underestimated and affect business efficiency. Rest before travel is important and limiting activities on arrival will help. Sunburn Sunburn is preventable. Limited your exposure and cover up especially around noon. Use sunscreens liberally and as directed. Accidents Unfamiliar surroundings and alcohol consumption often result in accidents.
