06.Dec.2011 Travel Lawyer Stephen Barth Calls for Safety Protocols at Events

This weekend, ESPN reported on a crush of fans that stormed the field after a college football game, resulting in 12 injuries, including one who was airlifted to a hospital.

As discussed at the 2011 Global Congress on Travel, these types of scenarios are predictable and preventable. It is time for all arenas to have protocols and contingency plans in place to prevent swarming at the end of contests.

The Congress focuses on legal, safety, and security solutions for the global travel, tourism, and hospitality industries.  Check back soon for details on the 2012 Global Congress on Travel, which will feature a dedicated track to legal, safety, and security issues affecting venues and events.
