Safety & Health Consulting Services in Accommodation Sector

Safety and Health Standards in Accommodation Sector

Accommodation seems to be one of the most profitable businesses sectors of last decades. Millions of travelers move around the world and billions are spending in order to satisfy visitor’s needs. However, it seems that welfare is not the only priority in accommodation business. Safety of the travelers turns to be one of the most important parameters, regardless their destination of choice. Safety standards have been increased and new rules have been introduced involving not only premises safety but also risk management and staff awareness.

Already, ABTA – The Travel Association and the Federation of Tour Operators (FTO), has prepared a code in order to establish a worldwide common standard for accommodation safety, approved also from leading Tour Operator around the globe (such as TUI Group, Thomas Cook, Jet2holidays and others). The compliance with these standards is evaluated every year through third party audits and the conformity scoring is an important value for future collaboration with Tour Operators.
