Remote & Hazardous
CTP routinely supports our clients in remote and hazardous regions of the world. Travelers navigate vaccination requirements, targeted and barricaded hotels, and restricted travel; comport themselves discreetly and safely; minimize their profile; and arrange security briefings with cognizant personnel to stay abreast of latest threat information.
Sudan
As part of a review of a major non-government organization's compliance with the United States government's Sudan embargo and related sanctions, CTP experts worked and traveled in several Sudan locations to audit and assess the client organization's operations, conducting interviews and inspections as well as diagramming processes and building awareness of compliance needs. Stopping in Khartoum, Juba, and Nairobi (Kenya), CTP experts calmly faced threats from Sudan's continuing civil war, terrorism, carjacking, and anti-Western sentiment.
Afghanistan
In late 2008, CTP conducted a series of three workshops in Kabul, Afghanistan. Two instructors received intensive advance training in self-defense and medical preparations before traveling on tightly-controlled itineraries. Staying in Embassy bunkers, the teams traveled daily by armored car and in flak jackets to the previously-attacked venue location. Undeterred, CTP instructors continue to work with Afghan counterparts to advance cooperation and our client's objectives.
Remote
CTP began working throughout Russia and the Central Asian republics in the mid 1990s, well before the resurgence of international interest in the region enhanced its accessibility and services. In Russia alone, beginning in 1995 with executive exchanges, CTP has worked with a variety of U.S. government agencies and Russian government, nonprofit, and industry partners throughout Russia's eleven time zones. Nearly two hundred CTP events in over 70 locations have spanned remote areas of Siberia, the Urals, and the Far East as well as the European and Moscow regions of Russia, and provided CTP a hardy and independent travel toolkit as over the past 13 years, CTP witnessed Russia's growth and modernization from the hardships of the immediate post-Soviet era.
