Industry leaders such as Minor Hotel Group’s William Heinecke and Virgin Airlines’ Sir Richard Branson have expressed concern related to widespread country travel advisories and their adverse impact on those countries' economies and social environments

•  Governments often prohibit tour companies from operating in areas with wide ranging travel advisories

•  Cancellations make routes highly uneconomical for operators •  Wildlife conservation suffers as it depends on funding from

tourism •  Declines in tourism result in declines in many industries, from

farming to manufacturing

Travel Advisories Hurt Economies

Travel Advisories Hurt Economies

USER COMMENTS

Page 21: GEOSURE

Social impact: •  GeoSure's fundamental mission is to achieve a social impact,

providing travelers with peace of mind, increased awareness and confidence when going places less familiar.

•  A shift in perspective, and perceived peace of mind, will boost tourism - an increasingly vital sector of the economies of many developing and smaller nations and regions around the world

Inspire travel to ALL markets: •  Destinations which may be less familiar •  Destinations incorrectly considered less secure because of

unavailable or less detailed information – or - simply because of geographical proximity to a destination with recently reported bad news

GEOSURE’S GOALS

Page 22: GEOSURE

… be an essential resource for timely and critical travel information, that is easily accessed as needed or desired … so citizens and travelers can make their own informed, prudent travel decisions, anywhere in the world

GEOSURE’S GOALS

Democratize information flows

Reduce research time and costs

Deliver relevant safety, political and security information

Page 23: GEOSURE

To partition every city and country in the world to a granular, neighborhood level - indicating in more detail than provided by any organization - which areas are less prone to unwanted events than others.

GEOSURE’S NEXT STEPS

Kenya’s tourism industry can clearly benefit from a deeper understanding of where caution is appropriate and where beauty and safety await travelers.

Kenya is a good example. Like most countries in the world, there are obviously more threatening areas, parts of Nairobi, NE and Somalia border, with areas of orange and red. But there are many areas of green and yellow, suggesting constructive and less concerning visitor experiences.

Page 24: GEOSURE

To be considered the objective, timely, accurate, informed global benchmark for travel safety

Informing travelers worldwide so they can make

optimal travel decisions
