The combined company will operate or franchise more than 5,500 hotels with 1.1 million rooms worldwide. Marriott currently has three-quarters of its rooms in the United States, while Starwood gets nearly two-thirds of its revenue from outside the country. The deal is expected to close in mid-2016, the companies said.

UNITED STATES / NEW ZEALAND - American Airlines is teaming up with Qantas Airways in a bid to become lion of the Pacific when it comes to flights from the U.S. to the Lands Downunder. In an announcement Tuesday at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), American Airlines Group president Scott Kirby announced new service from Los Angeles to Auckland to start next summer on a pact with Qantas that will make a convenient triangle of service between Los Angeles, Auckland and Sydney. The announcement comes just as new nonstop service on American begins linking Los Angeles and Sydney on December 17. Both services are to run daily. Both aircraft feature lie-flat seats as well as a walk-up bar, Wi-Fi and plenty of power outlets in the premium classes. Kirby noted the strength of keeping the complete flow of traffic between the three destinations inside the partnership that will allow the airline to compete forcefully with other U.S. carriers, such as Delta and United, in servicing traffic to Australia. The route becomes American's sixth in the trans-Pacific market as the carrier's growth in that region has nearly doubled in the past three years. For U.S. carriers the trans-Pacific route has been dominated by United and Delta in outbound flights from the United States. "It's all about the customer," added Vanessa Hudson, senior executive vice president for the Americas at Qantas Airways. "Tourism from the U.S. to New Zealand is growing at about 10 percent a year and this alliance makes New Zealand much more accessible to Americans. Together we are providing more than 150 flights a week on this route and we know that Americans who go to New Zealand overwhelming visit Australia as well." American opened Flagship check-in at LAX that gives First Class passengers a separate room and entrance for check-in, expedited and accompanied security line privileges, assistance to Admirals Club or departure gates and coordination with car services and interline connections. Those services are available to ConciergeKey members, Five Star Service customers, passengers flying First Class on American three-class transcontinental flights and those raveling First Class on an international American or select oneworldŽ alliance carrier on any point in an outbound itinerary. -
  
EUROPE - (Update) Elevated security measures continue to cause disruptions in numerous European countries on 17 November, following the 13 November terrorist attacks in France's capital, Paris. A number of new security threats have prompted additional countries to review their security measures. Most notably, police in Sweden have increased security force deployments and patrols in Gothenburg after the country's security service revealed that IS maintains an operational presence in the western city. In Russia, additional security force deployments were reported at major railway stations and other transport hubs on 16 November; these are expected to remain in place for an indefinite duration. Elsewhere, authorities in Czech Republic and Italy have reintroduced stringent security checks at border crossings with other EU members; this is expected to be a temporary measure. Finally, Albania has increased security countrywide after an assassination threat against a government minister was received. Heightened security measures are expected to remain in place, and may be implemented in additional countries, in the short- to medium-term. Furthermore, additional disruptions to travel across the region may increase as the most heavily affected states increase border controls and security measures. As tensions remain elevated across the region, associated demonstrations and commemorative events are anticipated. While these events are expected to conclude without major incident and are likely to be accompanied by an increased security force presence, the possibility of isolated skirmishes between participants and police cannot be discounted due to the emotive nature of events. Localised travel disruptions are expected at all demonstration-affected sites.  Clients in the aforementioned countries and locales are advised to exercise heightened situational awareness, comply with all directives issued by the local authorities and limit travel in crowded public venues. All suspicious persons, packages and/or vehicles should be reported to the local authorities. Itineraries should be kept flexible to accommodate potential travel delays.

UNITED KINGDOM(LONDON) - Authorities are set to implement heightened security measures in the Wembley and Harrow areas of north western London ahead of a friendly football match between England and France on 17 November. Armed police will be on duty in areas surrounding Wembley Stadium and the nearby train station, as well as the Charing Cross and Baker Street train stations in central London. Enhanced security checks, including random identity checks and searches, are expected in the aforementioned areas. The heightened security measures are entirely precautionary, as no specific threat against the event has been reported. Rather, the measures form part of an ongoing response in the UK following the 13 November terrorist attacks in Paris, France. The increased security is expected to result in some rail and road travel delays and disruptions.  Clients are advised to exercise heightened security awareness, comply with the directives issued by the local authorities and limit travel in and around crowded public venues. All suspicious persons, packages and/or vehicles should be reported to the local authorities. Itineraries should remain flexible to accommodate for possible travel disruptions.

PAKISTAN(BALOCHISTAN PROVINCE) - At least 13 people were killed and 100 others wounded due to a train derailment in the Bolan district of Pakistan's Balochistan province on 17 November. The train was travelling between the provincial capital, Quetta, and Rawalpindi when it derailed as a result of a technical error. Emergency and rescue operations are ongoing. This incident highlights the poor safety standard of rail travel in Pakistan. Train derailments and accidents are frequently reported across the country, as safety measures and infrastructural maintenance are inadequate by Western standards. Disruptions should be anticipated along the affected railway line for the immediate-term as emergency response crews respond to the incident. Although the use of rail travel in Pakistan is advised against, persons in the country who intend to travel by rail between Quetta and Rawalpindi are advised to contact the local transport authorities or their travel provider prior to travel to confirm the status of services. Due to a number of security concerns, all travel to Balochistan province is advised against.

SOUTH AFRICA(STELLENBOSCH, WESTERN CAPE PROVINCE) - Localised travel disruptions have been reported in Stellenbosch, located in South Africa's Western Cape province, due to an ongoing strike action by university employees in the area on 17 November. Workers employed by the University of Stellenbosch are reportedly demonstrating against the institution's use of outsourcing for cleaning, security and catering jobs, as well as wage-related grievances. Reports indicate that the protesters have set fire to a number of objects across the university's campus, and have barricaded several thoroughfares in the town. Further unconfirmed reports suggest that a number of students have joined the protests. Strikes and demonstrations stemming from political issues and labour disputes are common in South Africa. Such gatherings frequently turn violent, disrupting traffic, businesses and service delivery. Disruptions to travel and business services in the vicinity of Stellenbosch University are expected to continue for the duration of the protest. Persons currently operating in Stellenbosch are advised to avoid the demonstrations and any associated street gatherings as a precaution. Affected areas on Stellenbosch University's campus should be avoided until the situation has stabilised. Clients are further advised to monitor local media for updates on the situation, as well as advisories from the local authorities.

INDIA(DELHI) - Localised disruptions have been reported in India's capital, Delhi, due to The India International Trade Fair (IITF) underway until 27 November. Although the event commenced on 14 November, the general public will only be eligible to enter the trade fair, located in the Pragati Maidan area, from 19 November. Traffic congestion has been reported in the vicinity of Mathura Road, Bhairon Marg, Ring Road, Shershah Road and Purana Qila Road since 14 November. Parking restrictions have been implemented on Mathura Road, Sher Shah Road, Purana Qila Road, Bhagwan Dass Road and Tilak Marg Bhairon Marg. Additionally, increased security measures have been implemented in the vicinity of the venue; at least 2,500 security force members have been deployed in Pragati Maidan. The trade fair is an annual event organised by the India Trade Promotion Organisation ( ITPO) and serves as a forum for vendors and exhibitors to showcase their merchandise; as many as 7,000 domestic and foreign companies are expected to partake in the event. Although local officials have implemented some traffic management plans to decrease traffic congestion associated with the trade fair, given the number of participants and visitors expected to attend the event, as well as the increased security measures, localised travel disruptions and delays should be anticipated for the duration of the fair. An increased demand for alternative public transport services is likely during the affected period. Additionally, security measures, including police checkpoints, random identification checks, exclusion zones and other movement-restrictive measures may be implemented. Clients in Delhi during the aforementioned period are advised to anticipate travel disruptions in the affected parts the city and should plan accordingly. Clients are advised to adhere to parking restrictions as vehicles found parking indiscriminately and causing obstruction will most likely be towed away by authorities. Particular caution is advised around crowded venues, where petty criminals are known to operate.

GREECE(LEFKADA) - A 6.5 magnitude earthquake has been reported immediately west of Greece's western island of Lefkada. There have been no immediate reports of damages or casualties and no tsunami warning has been issued. The earthquake may result in some minor damage to infrastructure in the affected area. In addition, aftershocks in the area remain possible over the near-term. Clients in the affected area are advised to monitor local media for updates and advisories. Caution is advised in the vicinity of any possible affected/damaged structures.

MALAYSIA(JOHOR & SELANGOR STATES) - Heavy rain and resultant flash flooding have been reported in Johor Baru, located in Malaysia's Johor state, on 17 November. According to reports, traffic has been diverted in the city due to floodwaters which exceeded 1.5 metres in depth. Jalan kolam Ayer and Jalan Wong Ah Fook roads have been particularly affected. Additionally, disruptions have been reported in Shah Alam, in Selangor state, as a result of flooding and landslides. The route between Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah International Airport and the Federal Highway and Persiaran Kewajipan Road has been rendered impassable. Landslides have resulted in significant disruptions in Bukit Kutu, Pertak Orang Asli village, Kampung Bukit Kerayong and Bandar Puteri. Blockages due to landslides have rendered parts of the New Pantai Expressway impassable. Passenger rail services operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) were temporarily suspended after the tracks were submerged due to flooding. Heavy rain and associated flooding are expected to persist over the near-term. This is likely to exacerbate flooding in the affected areas and could trigger flash flooding and landslides in previously unaffected areas. Road-based travel disruptions are anticipated to continue in the near-term. Additionally, disruptions to transportation services and public utilities should be expected.  Persons in the affected areas are advised to exercise caution, particularly in low-lying, flood-prone areas due to the threats of flooding and landslides. Allowances should be made for travel disruptions in flood-affected areas. In addition, clients are advised to monitor local media for official warnings and advisories.

VENEZUELA - A state of emergency has been extended for a further 60 days in several municipalities in Venezuela's western states of Zulia (Machiques de Perija, Rosario de Perija, Jesus Enrique Lossada, La Canada, Catatumbo, Jesus Maria Semprun and Colon) and Apure (Paez, Romulo Gallegos and Pedro Camejo) which border Colombia. The state of emergency, which is also in place in parts of the states of Amazonas and Tachira, was implemented in August and provides the local security forces with additional powers to search properties, limit rights of assembly and ban the carrying of guns. These measures precede national elections for the National Assembly on 6 December. Venezuela has experienced a significant economic downturn in 2015, marked by increasing inflation and severe shortages of basic commodities. This has served to further aggravate anti-government sentiment, particularly among members of the opposition. President Nicolas Maduro and the ruling Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV) have come under severe criticism for the economic crisis. It is likely that the measures along the Colombian border are part of a wider strategy aimed at shoring up support for the PSUV and limiting opposition rallies in the area. Further measures by Maduro and the PSUV to secure their political position and limit the opposition are likely over the near-term. An increase in election-related rallies by pro-regime and opposition groupings should also be anticipated in the lead up to the poll and once results are released. The threat of violence is elevated at all opposition events. Persons in the country should anticipate disruptions to cross-border travel along the Colombian border and an increase in checkpoints in this area. Clients are advised against all non-essential travel to within 80km of Venezuela's border with Colombia, due to the risks posed by non-state armed groups. Persons travelling in this region should do so during the day and with a local escort or trained security driver. Clients in Venezuela ahead of the elections should maintain a heightened level of personal security awareness, avoid all street protests and exercise caution when travelling near political party offices. Persons with longer-term interests in Venezuela should ensure that crisis management plans are regularly reviewed and updated in conjunction with a security provider.

NIGERIA(GULF OF GUNEA) - (Update) Officials have announced the release of two Lithuanian and two Ukrainian sailors who were kidnapped off Nigeria's Gulf of Guinea coastline in late October. The four sailors were abducted by armed assailants in waters off the coast of Port Harcourt on 19 October. The abductees were on-board the Solarte, a Comoros-flagged refrigerated cargo vessel, at the time of the kidnapping. Unconfirmed reports indicate that the men were released by their captors late on 13 November following the payment of an unspecified ransom.  There are high kidnapping and piracy risks in the Niger Delta, including the Gulf of Guinea. The threat of piracy in the region has been linked to insecurity in the southern Niger Delta region, with both militants and criminal groups involved in incidents of piracy and kidnapping for political or financial gain. Commercial ships, oil rigs and their crews are often targeted in such incidents; however, leisure boats are occasionally targeted. Given the persistent insecurity in the region, further such attacks are anticipated.  Due to ongoing risks of kidnapping, conflict and crime, clients are advised against all travel to the Niger Delta region. Travellers planning to sail in the Gulf of Guinea, especially in waters surrounding the Niger Delta region, are advised to remain vigilant and register their presence in the region with their relevant embassies.

LIBYA - The overall kidnap risk rating for Libya has increased from high to extreme. This follows a reassessment of the countrywide risk level in light of the worsening security environment and a steady increase in kidnapping incidents in 2015. Libya's security environment continues to deteriorate due to ongoing political instability and associated conflict in a number of areas of the country. In addition to an increase in terrorist and criminal activity, a weak state, deteriorating economic circumstances and ineffective judiciary and security services have fuelled a significant upsurge in kidnapping incidents. Libya's two rival governments' abilities to secure major state interests and urban centres has become severely limited by the strong operational presence of non-state armed groups and various partially state-aligned militia groupings, who have taken advantage of the insecurity to advance their own agendas, both criminal and political as well as financial and ideological. Kidnappings are regularly reported across the country, including areas considered relatively secure, such as the capital, Tripoli; the risk extends to local and foreign nationals. When it comes to foreign nationals, individuals for the construction and extractive industries have been particularly affected; however, the risk extends to all foreign personnel. Conservative estimates based on anecdotal and open-source information indicate that at least three foreign nationals are kidnapped in Libya per month. The risk extends to all nationalities, with personnel from Canada, Cyprus, Egypt, France, India, Italy, Turkey, South Korea, the UK and elsewhere targeted by kidnappers in recent times. Clients are advised against all travel to Libya. Persons planning to travel to the country should ensure that they update their crisis management plans and acquire a full security risk assessment from their security provider prior to travel. Robust security measures should be implemented at all times; personnel should be accompanied by a close protection officer, maintain a low public profile and ensure that itineraries are kept confidential.

EGYPT(SINAI PENINSULA) - Russian authorities have confirmed that a bomb was the cause of the 31 October crash of the Metrojet commercial airliner over Egypt's central Sinai Peninsula, in which 224 people were killed. The plane was travelling from Sharm el Sheikh to St Petersburg in Russia when it crashed shortly after take-off. The Islamic State (IS)'s Sinai Province claimed responsibility for the incident shortly after the crash, which governments, including that of Russia, had initially dismissed. Confirmation of the cause of the crash is likely to lead to a further increase in security measures on all commercial planes transiting airports in Egypt, particularly if the destination or arrival point is in Europe. Security measures are already thought to have been elevated in Egypt after the incident, which has raised serious concerns about security at ports of exit and entry from the country, particularly the capability of the Egyptian aviation authorities. However, increased international and national focus on the Egyptian aviation sector over the near-term is expected to limit the likelihood of a repeat attack. The confirmation of the attack follows several high-profile IS-linked attacks recently, including in Paris, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Yemen, Kuwait, Iraq, Syria and Libya. IS and its affiliates across the Middle East, North Africa and Asia have repeatedly threatened to target nationals of countries involved in the air coalition against the group in Syria and Iraq. Clients should note that numerous states have suspended or scaled back flights to and from Egypt since early November. Clients are advised against all travel to the North Sinai governorate and should exercise heightened security awareness in western Egypt, generally, and in rural areas of the South Sinai governorate. Persons travelling to and from Egypt by air should maintain elevated vigilance. All suspicious persons and packages should be reported to the authorities. Clients concerned about the security of travel in or to Egypt are advised to contact their security provider for an update on the situation. Furthermore, travellers should confirm the status of their flight(s) with their travel provider prior to departure.

KENYA/UGANDA - Authorities in Kenya and Uganda have reportedly implemented increased security measures in response to the recent terrorist attacks that occurred in Paris, France, on 13 November. The precautions include the deployment of additional security force personnel to public venues, including shopping centres, churches and transport hubs, as well as enhanced security procedures at the countries' points of entry. The increased security measures relate specifically to the regional threat posed by the Somalia-based Islamist insurgent group, al-Shabaab. Ugandan and Kenyan officials are concerned that the Paris attacks may inspire similar assaults from the group in their respective countries over the near-term. Al-Shabaab has repeatedly threatened and executed attacks in Uganda and Kenya in retaliation for the countries' military involvement in the African Union Mission in Somalia's peacekeeping force. Aside from additional security patrols, measures in Kenya and Uganda may include security checkpoints, random identification checks and vehicle searches. It should be noted that such procedures may result in localised travel disruptions. Clients in Kenya and Uganda are advised to exercise heightened security awareness, to limit time spent at marketplaces and other crowded areas and to report all suspicious persons, packages and vehicles to the local authorities. Due to various security concerns, all travel to a number of areas in Kenya and Uganda is advised against.

TUNISIA(SOUSSE) - A senior Tunisian official issued a statement on 17 November stating that the security forces had recently foiled a planned terrorist attack in Sousse. The authorities reportedly arrested 17 militants who were planning to target hotels, state infrastructure and politicians in November. These militants had reportedly received training in Libya and Syria and were awaiting orders to execute the assault. The statement coincides with ongoing global concern regarding the terrorism risk posed by the Islamic State (IS) and its affiliated bodies in light of the Paris (13 November) and Beirut (12 November) attacks and the 17 November Russian government claim that a bomb had led to the crash of a commercial airliner in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt on 31 October. The group has also targeted Tunisia in the recent past. In June, IS claimed a shooting attack in Port El Kantaoui, located immediately north of Sousse, which left 38 foreign nationals dead, including 30 Britons. The authorities also blamed the Okba Ibn Nafaa Brigade, an al-Qaeda-linked grouping, for the attack. The recent statement by the Tunisian authorities is of particular concern and serves to highlight the persistently high risk of terrorism in North Africa, including in Tunisia. Security in the country remains on alert, particularly in Sousse and other major tourist areas. This will serve to mitigate the risk of a successful attack in places but not decrease the overall risk. Clients in the country are advised to exercise heightened security awareness at all times. Suspicious persons and packages should be reported to the authorities. Prior to travel, clients should liaise with their security provider regarding the risk in their specific area of travel.

GREECE(ATHENSS) - Protesting farmers have called for demonstrations against agricultural policies on the taxation of farmers in Greece's capital, Athens, on 18 November. Participants are expected to the make their way to Athens with tractors; the main demonstration will be held at Kaningos Square from 10:00 local time. Unconfirmed reports also indicate that farmers from the Island of Crete will gather at Syntagma Square on the day. Elsewhere, protesting farmers are expected to blocakade various roads in Pella, located in the Macedonia region, from 10:00 on 17 and 18 November. Protests are also possible in the East Macedonia and Thrace region on 18 November. Further details have not been disclosed. The demonstrations are expected to be well attended; as such localised disruptions to travel should be anticipated on major roads as well as at protest sites, particularly in Athens. While the rallies are expected to conclude peacefully, the risk of low-level scuffles between demonstrators and police cannot be discounted.  Clients in the affected areas on 18 November are advised to avoid all street protests as a precaution and keep itineraries flexible to accommodate travel delays.

NICARAGUA(MANAGUA) - (Update) Elevated security measures continue to cause disruptions in numerous European countries on 17 November, following the 13 November terrorist attacks in France's capital, Paris. A number of new security threats have prompted additional countries to review their security measures. Most notably, police in Sweden have increased security force deployments and patrols in Gothenburg after the country's security service revealed that IS maintains an operational presence in the western city. In Russia, additional security force deployments were reported at major railway stations and other transport hubs on 16 November; these are expected to remain in place for an indefinite duration. Elsewhere, authorities in Czech Republic and Italy have reintroduced stringent security checks at border crossings with other EU members; this is expected to be a temporary measure. Finally, Albania has increased security countrywide after an assassination threat against a government minister was received.  Heightened security measures are expected to remain in place, and may be implemented in additional countries, in the short- to medium-term. Furthermore, additional disruptions to travel across the region may increase as the most heavily affected states increase border controls and security measures. As tensions remain elevated across the region, associated demonstrations and commemorative events are anticipated. While these events are expected to conclude without major incident and are likely to be accompanied by an increased security force presence, the possibility of isolated skirmishes between participants and police cannot be discounted due to the emotive nature of events. Localised travel disruptions are expected at all demonstration-affected sites.  Clients in the aforementioned countries and locales are advised to exercise heightened situational awareness, comply with all directives issued by the local authorities and limit travel in crowded public venues. All suspicious persons, packages and/or vehicles should be reported to the local authorities. Itineraries should be kept flexible to accommodate potential travel delays.

PARAGUAY - The Sifetramipar public sector union has called for a 72-hour strike to denounce budget cuts in Paraguay from 18 November. An associated protest has been called in the capital, Asuncion, from 11:00 to 13:00 local time outside the Public Ministry offices. Disruptions to state-related operations are expected between 18 and 20 November. This may impact on some transport services. The demonstration in Asuncion is likely to be well attended and could result in moderate to severe road travel disruptions near the protest venue. Clients operating in Paraguay between 18 and 20 November should adjust itineraries to cater for potential delays. All street protests should be avoided as a precaution.

PAKISTAN(SINDH & PUNJAB PROVINCES) - (Update) Local government elections in Pakistan's Sindh and Punjab provinces are scheduled to continue on 19 November, with the final phase on 5 December. On 19 November voting in Sindh will take place in the districts of Matiari, Tando Allah Yar, Tando Mohammad Khan, Thatta, Sujawal, Badin, Hyderabad, Dadu, Jamshoro, Benaziriabad, Naushero Feroz, Sanghar, Mirpurkhas, Umerkot and Tharparkar. In Punjab province, this will take place in the Khanewal, Sahiwal, Toba Tek Singh, Chiniot, Sargodha, Mianwali, Sheikhupura, Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Mandi Bahauddin, Attock and Jhelum districts. As a precaution, paramilitary troopers have deployed throughout the affected districts, in order to ensure the safety of voters on the day. Although details are unclear, it is likely that the security force deployments will focus on election-related facilities, such as polling stations. Pakistan is subject to high levels of insecurity; politically motivated violence perpetrated by opposing political supporters is regularly reported. In addition, there is a heightened threat of attacks on voters and election-related facilities and personnel by non-state armed groups which may seek to disrupt voting. Indeed, in the previous round of elections, on 31 October, 16 people were killed and up to 70 wounded in incidents of election-related violence in the districts of Sukkur, Khairpur, Jacobabad, Shikarpur and Larkana. Given this dynamic, the threat of violence on 19 November is elevated. Due to a number of ongoing security concerns, all non-essential travel to Sindh and Punjab provinces is advised against. Clients in the affected areas on 19 November are advised to maintain a low profile. In addition, all demonstrations, concentrations of security forces or security facilities, polling stations and election-related activities should be avoided.

PERU - Various civil society groups, including the CGTP trade union, have called for a protest in Peru's capital, Lima, on 19 November from 14:00 local time. The gathering will be held in the El Campo de Marte area and has been organised to denounce insecurity, specifically extortion-related killings. Thousands of participants are anticipated. Rallies in other major cities and towns are also expected. The marches are unlikely to be affected by major acts of violence; however, low-level confrontations cannot be ruled out. Road travel disruptions are likely in the vicinity of all protest sites. Outside of Lima, likely protest areas include major parks, squares, city centres and government buildings. Persons in Lima and other major centres on 19 November are advised to avoid all street protests as a standard precaution.

TUNISIA - The UGTT union has called for a series of strikes in some of Tunisia's governorates concerning a wage dispute. An initial strike is scheduled for 19 November in Sfax. Strikes are also tentatively scheduled for 25 November in the Tunis area, 26 November in the Nabeul, Zaghouan, Sousse, Monastir and Mahdia areas, 27 November in Bizerte, Beja, Jendouba and Kef, 30 November in Silinana, Kairouan, Sidi Bouzid and Kasserine and 1 December in Medenine, Gabes, Tataouine, Tozeur, Gafsa and Kebili. Negotiations between government and the union are ongoing and there remains a possibility that the strike action may be averted. Should the strike proceed, disruptions to business operations are anticipated in affected areas. Associated street protests by striking workers are also likely. The risk of confrontations at any related event exists. Clients in affected areas on strike days should monitor local media closely for updates on possible related protests and strike impact. All street protests should be avoided as a standard precaution.
