Abstract
The safety and security of the hotel and its guests are always paramount and any guest arriving at a hotel expects that they and their belongings will be safe and secure throughout their stay. The hotel must implement measures to protect and secure their assets. Staff are valued and should also be protected. There must be safety and security of systems, equipment, food poisoning and against any criminal activity, such as theft, abduction, murder, etc. The safety and security of guests are vital for maintaining positive reviews, as weak safety and security measures at a hotel may pose a threat to the life of the guests and staff and can tarnish the reputation of the hotel.
