May 15, 2018 via ConvergeBlog

The details of the horrific Mandalay Bay attack offer a clear example to the hospitality industry as to just why proactive – and often covert – security standards must be tested and implemented.  The name of the game is to detect, deter or neutralize an attack before it takes place. In order to do this, smart technology and keen intelligence gathering techniques must be deployed. Well-versed analytical personnel must have unfettered access to the intelligence and offer management their professional assessment as to the threat at hand.

We note here some of the suggestions we have provided in recent conversations with hotel security personnel or in hospitality sector security associations or meetings.  If implemented, these revised or updated protocols could further enhance security for guests and employees. But to be effective, they each must be studied by the hotel operator, assessed for potential legal challenges and training must be provided to employees.
