Former British commander Richard Kemp MBE ran delegates through a sobering list of external factors concerning travel, ranging from the threat of cyber attacks to terror attacks on maritime corridors, but was keen to remind attendees the vast majority were unlikely to come to a worst-case scenario – or materialise at all.
He also reminded delegates not to set too much stall by what the world's political leaders say. “Don’t take politicians seriously for predictions on how the world’s going to go,” said Kemp as he started his address.
