BODYGUARD SERVICES IN HONG KONG

HOW TO SECURE YOUR SAFETY WITH BODYGUARD SERVICES IN HONG KONG

Is it really necessary to secure your safety with bodyguard services in Hong Kong today? This modern economic and commercial business hub is one of Asia’s wealthiest cities. On the Forbes Top 10 List of cities that billionaires call their home Hong Kong ranks second, even above Being and Singapore.

As a special administrative region under Chinese regime since 1997, Hong Kong has remained its central position thanks to the excellent facilities, infrastructure and thriving business culture developed under British government during the timespan of 156 years. That is why the city still attracts many businesses and multinationals.

However safe Hong Kong may feel, this knowledge attracts both serious criminals and opportunists in petty theft. Threats include kidnaps, extortion and burglary. Additionally, the pending insurgence situations add to that.

PENDING THREATS IN HONG KONG

Since mid-March 2019, protesters have been demonstrating against Hong Kong’s government. Their motives were initially aimed at the proposed Fugitive Offenders Amendment Bill. Citizens were worried about infringement of pending human rights liberties and freedom of speech to a certain group once they were deported. Protest and demonstrations have led to riots and clashes between protesters and the police. On some occasions, the violence was severe, and riots took place in areas that attract many tourists, public transport, commercial zones, and residential areas.

Until today, both authorized and unauthorized demonstrations still take place now and again, and they are expected to be organized during the coming period as well. Besides the threat of being caught in the violence of an uncontrolled protest, the risk of being pick-pocketed or assaulted by criminals who take advantage of the turmoil should likewise be taken seriously.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SAFEGUARD YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY?

Target groups

Expats, diplomats, media teams and ultra high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI) are a lucrative target for criminals. If you reside in Hong Kong or travel for business or leisure, make sure that you stay on top of the news. Check for planned, authorized demonstrations and talk to locals to find out if any unauthorized protests with a higher risk for rioting are planned.

Plan your trip

Also, many public transport stations have been closed due to the damage caused by previous riots. Check the public transport website for more information on routes and time tables. The Hong Kong government issues accurate news on traffic and public transport on a designated website that is updated daily.

Personal attacks

Personal assault on wealthy individuals are rare; however, they do happen. Similar is the situation for sexual assaults. As a single male traveler, make sure you leave your valuables at home, the office or hotel and refrain from adopting a regular (traceable) living-work pattern. Single female travelers should be cautious of spiked drinks and refrain engaging with strangers.
