Health, Safety, & Risk Management
Travel with peace of mind
Tackling any Challenge
Bschool Travel takes safety and risk management support seriously. We’ve put in place careful measures to ensure all participants enjoy a safe and comfortable program experience. With every program, we include around-the-clock emergency assistance. Our emergency response team can tackle any challenge and manage evolving risks throughout every step of the process. From planning to execution, we’ve got you covered.
Your Safety is our Top Priority
Bschool Travel works in proud partnership with Cornerstone Safety Group to ensure our internal safety systems remain best-in-class. Together we’re able to address key components for health and safety, staff training, program setup and delivery, vendor vetting, crisis response, and other essentials.
Explore some of the real-world experiences we’ve resolved throughout the years:
In September of 2023, 25 of our MBA students were in Marrakech when a 6.8-magnitude struck the region. As our partner, Bschool Travel took immediate action to ensure the health and safety of our students. They immediately contacted the university to report the status of the group as well as their response plan. Additionally, they helped connect students with family members who were unable to reach them due to poor cell reception. Once students were in a safe location, they worked to reroute the group to Essaouira, which was over 100 miles outside of Marrakech. Their quick action made our students feel at ease and that their travel experience was minimally impacted.

As we relaunched our Global Experiences in 2021, we were looking for a trusted partner who could navigate the uncertainty and health risks pertaining to Covid-19. We found that partner in Bschool Travel. Throughout the last several years, their response to health and safety concerns has been first-class. From providing access to reliable healthcare in Italy, to extending quarantine accommodations in Abu Dhabi, to preparing on the spot entry/exit documentation in Chile, the Bschool Travel team has been there every step of the way. Their swift and immediate response gives us confidence that our students are in safe hands while traveling.

Bschool Travel has been a long-time partner for our Kellogg Worldwide Exploration Student Trips (KWEST), which has a unique set of demands and challenges. In addition to building great rapport with students, the Bschool Travel Team has proven that they have a strong crisis response process. In August 2023, a KWEST trip was scheduled for Ecuador, when a presidential candidate was assassinated less than 2 weeks before the group's arrival and the national elections. The Bschool Travel team made every effort to ensure both the physical and psychological safety of the students by providing office hours with the US and local teams, addition of security escorts on parts of the trip, adjustment of the itinerary to avoid being in Quito during the elections, and daily reports of the groups whereabouts that were incredibly valuable. We recommend working with the Bschool Travel Team and trust our students are safe in their hands while enjoying their global travel experiences.
