[Lebanon, NH – June 24, 2025] – As geopolitical tensions escalate and war zones widen, more international travelers are turning to Global Rescue for security memberships that offer real-time intelligence, crisis response and extraction services.

Security membership purchases have surged across all key timeframes. Year-to-date purchases in 2025 are up 26% compared to the same period in 2024. The trend intensified in June, with a 40% increase in purchases this month compared to June 2024. The most dramatic spike occurred during the week of June 16 to June 22, with purchases jumping 41% over the same week last year.

“Travelers are no longer willing to risk being caught unprepared in a conflict zone,” said Dan Richards, CEO of Global Rescue and a member of the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board at the U.S. Department of Commerce. “They want the ability to make a single phone call and have a team of security professionals mobilized to help them. That’s exactly what a Global Rescue security membership provides.”

The increase coincides with the intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran, as well as regional instability affecting parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Travelers are seeking more than insurance—they want a trusted team that can extract them when no one else can.

Global Rescue’s Security Membership includes:

  • 24/7 access to a team of military special operations veterans and intelligence experts
  • Real-time alerts and destination-specific security advisories
  • Emergency response and extraction from conflict zones, civil unrest, and terror events

“People are traveling with their eyes open. They’re seeing the headlines—airspace closures, armed conflict, civil unrest—and making smarter decisions before they go,” said Harding Bush, associate director of security operations at Global Rescue and a former Navy SEAL. “Security memberships give travelers direct access to the people who have responded to the world’s worst crises.”
