Tourism and hotels

Hotels, resorts and destination operators face safety-critical incidents with guests in the building and the world watching, often with lean overnight teams.

Practitioner led since 2014 Led by John Zeppos, Founder and Group Managing Director DRI Accredited training provider Three BCI Global Awards 16+ EU Horizon research projects Trusted to train 3 of the Big Four

The regulatory drivers

Obligations centre on duty of care, safety regulation and data protection (FADP and GDPR for guest data), with brand standards and management agreements increasingly mandating tested crisis and continuity arrangements.

The threat profile we plan against

  • Guest safety incidents. Fire, medical emergencies, security threats and evacuations with duty of care to people who do not know the building.
  • Seasonal exposure. Revenue concentrated in seasons where a closure or reputational event cannot be recovered within the year.
  • Booking system dependence. PMS, channel managers and payment systems whose outage halts arrivals and revenue immediately.
  • Destination shocks. Weather events, unrest or transport failures that strand guests and staff simultaneously.

Proof in this sector
Frequently asked questions
Can night teams realistically run a crisis plan?

Only if it is built for them: one page actions, clear escalation, and short drills on real shifts. We design for the 02:00 duty manager, not the head office binder.

Do you handle reputation and guest communications?

Yes. Holding statements, guest and tour operator communications and media handling are exercised together with the operational response, because in this sector they are inseparable.

Can one programme cover multiple properties?

Yes: a group framework with property level playbooks, so standards are consistent while each site's realities are respected.
