Assessing Africa's Risk for Travellers: ACM Interview with Ryan Cummings

Abstract

International tourist arrivals in Africa increased by 5% in the first half of 2016. Because conflict dangers influence the plans of business people and vacationers, a cottage industry devoted to travellers' interests has become integral to foreign travel in Africa. ACM discussed industry trends and the primary risks for visitors to some of Africa's most popular travel destinations with Ryan Cummings, Director of Signal Risk, an Africa-focused security management consultancy that assists organisations to keep their staff safe when they travel in Africa.
