New Haven, CT — Student travel risk management organization, SafeAbroad, today announced the launch of its annual report. The report provides a recap of global events over the past year and predictions for issues that will be relevant in the international education and travel spaces in the upcoming year.
Over the past year, the SafeAbroad team has monitored a wide array of risks impacting the health, safety, and well-being of student travelers abroad. They have logged thousands of incidents spanning travel, security, protests, health, disasters, and weather across more than 100 countries. The annual report addresses these issues while informing institutions of potential risks that may arise in the near future.
As 2026 approaches, institutions must prepare for evolving risks, including heightened digital security threats, climate-driven disruptions, and a growing focus on mental health support for students abroad. SafeAbroad offers practical solutions and suggestions to address these challenges in the report and through its wide range of services.
“Our annual report is just one way we make travel risk management an ongoing conversation rather than a reaction to problems that may arise,” said Zac Einerson, Client Engagement Lead at SafeAbroad. “By combining proactive communication with real-time insights, we help institutions create safer travel experiences.”
For travelers and program managers alike, the report enhances preparedness and a greater sense of connection to global issues and communities. This is especially important as complex safety concerns, ranging from geopolitical tensions to emerging public health crises, challenged international education in 2025.
