Keep Your Travelers Safe

Who would your travelers call if they were detained by police while abroad? What would they do in the event of a terror attack? What if they were robbed while traveling? Odds are good they would reach out to you, their travel agent, for help. But a better approach would be to connect with an in-country safety and security expert, one who has the professional expertise, experience and contacts to help immediately, at any time of the day or night. That's just what Salus Security Services provides.

"We offer a unique and affordable service that provides peace of mind to travelers overseas," says Carlos Barron, co-founder of Salus Security Services and a former high-ranking Houston FBI agent. "We have Points of Contact (PoCs) who are in country and have a working background in safety and security. They have an understanding of the laws, network of contacts and first-hand expertise that can't be matched." Clients have immediate and direct access to their PoC, both before and during their travel, to help with any problems or address any concerns. Salus currently offers services in Italy and Spain, with additional European destinations planned for the future.

Travel Safety Tips for Italy

According to surveys from Virtuoso and Travel Leaders in late 2017, Italy is the #1 most popular international destination for U.S. travelers. Help your Italy-bound clients stay safe during their travels with safety and security tips from Melissa Thomas, the in-country Point of Contact for Salus Security Services. A retired FBI Special Agent and former Assistant Legal Attaché in Rome, Thomas brings her first-hand experience to provide practical and easy-to-implement tips for travelers.

Meet the Pros

In addition to offices and partners based in New York and Houston, Salus Security Services features locally based Points of Contact (PoCs) on hand in country to assist American travelers 24/7. Your clients will always know who their security expert is: former senior FBI and U.S. Embassy officials with proven experience in their local country. These local PoCs have extensive expertise in law enforcement and U.S. Embassy protocol-along with a vast network of local contacts-to ensure fast and efficient help in case of any kind of security or safety emergency. Salus Security Services is a member of the Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC), led by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security under the U.S. Department of State.
