Hotels and restaurants worldwide have been subject to terrorist attacks reports NACTSO – the National Counter Terrorism Security Office.
It is possible that a hotel or restaurant could be involved in a terrorist incident. This might include having to deal with a bomb threat or with suspect items left in or around your premises or sent through the post. In the worst case scenario staff and guests could be killed or injured, and premises destroyed or damaged in a ‘no warning’, multiple and co-ordinated terrorist attack.
A new guide from NACTSO seeks to provide protective security advice to those who own, operate, manage or work in hotels and restaurants (available as pdf). It aids those who are seeking to reduce the risk of a terrorist attack and limit the damage an attack might cause. It highlights the vital part you can play in the UK counter terrorism strategy.
A number of organisations have adopted good practice to enhance the protective security measures in and around their premises. This document identifies and complements such good practice measures. Download at –
