(Lebanon, N.H. – April 16, 2026) – Global Rescue, the world’s leading provider of medical, security, evacuation and travel risk management services, has been named Best Traveler Protection for Adventure Travel in the 2026 Men’s Journal Travel Awards.

The annual awards recognize top travel companies and services based on performance, reliability and real-world effectiveness. Global Rescue earned top honors for its unmatched ability to respond to emergencies in remote and high-risk environments, where traditional travel insurance often falls short.

“The best travel protection for adventure travel isn’t about reimbursed flights or lost luggage—it’s about what happens when things go genuinely wrong in remote places,” said Ian Centrone, editor at Men’s Journal. “Global Rescue earned our recognition by excelling when the stakes are highest, delivering field rescue, medical expertise and global response capabilities that go far beyond conventional coverage.”

Beyond medical response, Global Rescue’s capabilities extend into complex security operations and crisis extraction missions in volatile environments, most recently in the Middle East. The organization regularly deploys security personnel — including former military special operations professionals — to support and evacuate travelers during geopolitical crises, civil unrest and volent conflict situations, including efforts to assist international travelers stranded by widespread airspace closures and escalating regional hostilities.

“Our security teams operate in highly dynamic environments where conditions can change rapidly,” said Fernando Lopez Medina, security operations supervisor at Global Rescue and a former U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret. “We continuously assess threats, identify safe corridors and coordinate secure movements to relocate travelers from high-risk areas.”

Unlike conventional travel insurance providers that focus on reimbursement and hospital-to-hospital transport, Global Rescue provides on-the-ground response, including medically guided field rescues from virtually any location worldwide. Members can be transported directly from the point of injury or illness to their home hospital of choice.

“We assist adventure, business and leisure travelers in environments where immediate, expert response is critical,” said Dan Richards, CEO of The Global Rescue Companies. “This recognition reinforces our commitment to delivering the highest level of traveler protection — whether that means rescuing someone from a remote mountain or coordinating a complex security extraction in an unstable region.”

Global Rescue membership includes:

  • Field rescue and evacuation from the point of illness or injury
  • Security extraction and crisis response in high-risk environments
  • No activity exclusions, covering pursuits such as mountaineering, trekking and extreme sports
  • Medical advisory and telehealth services with direct access to leading physicians
  • Global reach with integrated medical and security operations

“The Global Rescue model stands apart because it removes the limitations travelers often don’t realize exist until it’s too late,” Centrone added. “From remote extractions to real-time medical and security support, it’s a comprehensive safety net for serious travelers.”

For more than two decades, Global Rescue has supported travelers, enterprises and governments during crises ranging from natural disasters to geopolitical conflicts, providing expert response when and where it is needed most.
