<br/><br/> In the recent years, the travel industry has been buffeted by significant international events such as terrorist attacks; the expanding war on terrorism; outbreaks of contagious diseases, such as Bird Flu and SARS; and hurricanes, floods and tsunami. In addition to these issues, travelers have concerns about security in airports, at hotels, on cruise ships, and on trains; travel scams, thieves; pickpockets; and identity theft.
