[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."

(Lebanon, NH – June 18, 2025) — Global Rescue, the world's leading provider of medical, security, evacuation, and travel risk management services, is urging all international travelers in Israel to evacuate immediately as the armed conflict with Iran intensifies and conditions deteriorate rapidly.

"We urge everybody who wants to leave or is concerned about the escalation of the conflict to do it and do it now," said Dan Richards, CEO of The Global Rescue Companies. With Israel's Ben Gurion Airport closed and regional airspace restricted, Global Rescue is executing critical extractions via alternative land routes through Jordan and Egypt, where crossings remain intermittently open and airspace is still accessible.

"The situation is intensifying over the last 12 to 18 hours," Richards said. "We have been working around the clock to evacuate our clients by the safest methods possible to get them out of harm’s way."

Global Rescue also indicated that maritime evacuation may be feasible under certain circumstances but cautioned against viewing it as a primary solution due to operational constraints and security risks. "Traveling by sea might be possible but far from ideal—it comes with significant logistical and safety challenges," Richards added.

In addition to evacuations, Global Rescue teams are providing critical remote support for individuals sheltering in place. In one recent incident, Global Rescue coordinated aid for a group taking cover in a bomb shelter after an Iranian missile struck nearby.

"We are acting as a lifeline for travelers caught in this conflict—offering not only security extractions but also guidance, communication support, and physical assistance as needed," Richards said.

Global Rescue's operations are supported by a team of seasoned intelligence analysts and field operatives, including former special operations personnel. The company's expertise in dynamic conflict zones enables fast, coordinated responses to rapidly changing threats.

NOTE: Due to the sensitive nature of these operations and the ongoing risk of targeting by hostile forces, Global Rescue cannot disclose the locations or identities of individuals receiving support.

(Lebanon, NH — June 15, 2025) — Global Rescue, the world's leading provider of medical, security, evacuation, and travel risk management services, is actively conducting security extractions and providing real-time advisory for international travelers trapped in Israel due to the rapidly escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.

Despite airspace closures over Israel, Iran, and Iraq—and temporary restrictions over Jordan—Global Rescue is using multiple means of secure transport to evacuate travelers and support those sheltering in place. The company is currently assisting dozens of international travelers, including students, tourists, and business professionals.

"We are executing extractions in a highly dynamic and dangerous environment, using every available option to reach and protect those affected by the conflict," said Harding Bush, associate director of Security Operations at Global Rescue. "Our teams are providing both remote guidance and on-the-ground support as we navigate rapidly shifting security conditions and regional restrictions."

The conflict escalated dramatically on Friday following the exchange of drone, missile, and bombing attacks between Israel and Iran. The scale of the strikes marks one of the most intense periods of direct confrontation between the two nations in years and raises the threat level for travelers across the Middle East. Israel has long targeted Iranian proxies, while Iran supports militant groups such as Hamas.

"Our mission is to get people out of harm's way—safely and quickly," said Dan Richards, CEO of The Global Rescue Companies. "The airspace closures and targeting threats complicate movement, but our security operations teams are adapting in real-time to protect individuals."

Global Rescue activated emergency protocols as the conflict intensified, deploying personnel and resources to support members in and around the conflict zone. Services include intelligence alerts, emergency action planning, and, when conditions permit, secure extraction from high-risk areas.

NOTE: Due to the sensitive nature of these operations and the risks of targeting by hostile actors, Global Rescue cannot disclose the specific details of its extractions or the identities of those receiving assistance.

(Lebanon, NH - June 13, 2025) — Global Rescue, the world's leading provider of medical, security, evacuation, and travel risk management services, is actively monitoring the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran and is providing direct support to travelers in the region.

"We are actively tracking the safety and security of member students, multinational tourists and business travelers in Israel and the region," said Harding Bush, a former Navy SEAL and associate director of Security Operations at Global Rescue. "Our security and intelligence operations teams are working to ensure the safety of our members as needed, but the situation is deteriorating rapidly and may escalate before stabilizing."

The conflict intensified as Israel launched large-scale airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites. In response, Iran launched more than 100 drones toward Israeli territory. The exchange marks one of the most severe escalations in Middle East hostilities in years, amid a long-running shadow war in which Israel has targeted Iranian proxies and Iran has backed groups like Hamas.

The violence has placed residents, religious pilgrims, tourists, students, and business travelers at growing risk across the region. Global Rescue has activated emergency protocols and coordinates real-time support for members in and around affected areas. Services include intelligence alerts, emergency response planning, and, where needed, secure movement or evacuation assistance.

"We're doing everything we can in a tough and evolving situation," said Dan Richards, CEO of The Global Rescue Companies. "Our security operations teams are working to secure the safety of our members, but the situation remains fluid." Global Rescue will continue to monitor developments and stands ready to provide medical and security evacuations and crisis response for members impacted by the conflict.
