Modernize Hospitality Risk Mitigation with Advanced Hotel/Resort Threat Intelligence

Hotels are the world’s – and certainly America’s – most violent commercial sector. US hotels experience between 50-80 acts of hotel violence every single month. Internationally, it’s 1-30 every month. Exposures come from violent crime, terrorism, political violence, and war.

Hotels are an integral part of the US business-tourism economy and infrastructure. This sector makes billions a year, it employs millions of people, and millions of people flow in and out of hotels every day.
Hotel security and risk reduction, however, lag behind the threat mitigation methods necessary to better protect this sector.

Hotel threat intelligence can help modernize hotel violence risk reduction methods across the board. It can help reduce injuries, deaths, physical damages, financial losses, and negligence lawsuits. Hotel security managers, risk managers, lawyers, and law enforcement can all use such intelligence to great effect.

Hotel threat intelligence is the way forward for this highly vulnerable sector.
