Boston, Mass., and Washington D.C. – Crisis response firm Global Rescue’s CEO Daniel Richards will share his perspectives on travel risk management at the World Medical Tourism & Global Healthcare Congress, running September 20-24, 2014, in Washington, D.C. Global Rescue is a worldwide provider of integrated medical, security, transport, intelligence and crisis response services for corporations, governments and consumers.

Richards’ presentation on the panel, “Travel Insurance in the 21st Century: From Medical Travel to Emergency Evacuations,” will highlight the changing nature of travel risks. Organizations which provide services that involve travel or have employees who travel face increasing “duty of care” liability if they fail to: disclose potential risks related to travel; provide relevant information related to those risks; or respond to medical and security emergencies.

The “Travel Insurance in the 21st Century: From Medical Travel to Emergency Evacuations” session is set for Tuesday, September 23, 2014, at 4 p.m., at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, Washington, D.C.
