Today, much of the world’s trade is conducted within 21 countries in Asia Pacific. This area is a hotbed of business activity that has spurred monumental growth, as well as a fragile sociological environment. Most astute business leaders who have spent time in the region know that these two elements are not always compatible.

Executives must not only worry about the actions of rogue states such as North Korea, and terrorist organizations such as Jemaah Islamiyah, but also the impact of tensions between the US and China, with China’s military growing stronger and more pro-active.

Across the region, the ability of national governments to control crisis and violence in far-flung territories is arguably weaker than it was five or 10 years ago. Corruption and organized crime exacerbate problems, when they occur. Not only are extremists causing concern, but there are pirates, snakeheads, drug dealers, and the sex trade.

In some countries, manufacturers must contend with violent strikes by unruly local mobs.

The region constantly suffers from natural disasters, such as typhoons and earthquakes; many countries only have marginal response capabilities. Infectious disease is also a problem that besets Asian governments, where there often lacks necessary infrastructure or border controls.

I-OnAsia is skilled at meeting the needs of our clients who are concerned with safety & security in Asia; our programs focus on issues that are unique to this part of the world.

Hotels that do not harden security, and travel officers who guide visitors to unsafe places, face the loss of business litigation for lapses in duty of care. Facilities must be protected. Fire is a natural enemy. Terrorist attacks and political extremist violence are of serious concern world-wide.
