Inhoco in tie-up to offer hotel security certification

Inhoco Group, a leading UAE-based hospitality consultancy, has entered into a partnership with a global firm to strengthen its hotel proposition by including the important area of security.

The partnership with Safehotels Alliance, the founders of the Global Hotel Security Standard, will strengthen Inhoco’s full-service hospitality advisory and consulting proposition, a statement said.

Safehotels provides independent security and safety evaluations and certifies hotels accordingly.

Hans Kanold, CEO of Safehotels Alliance, said: “Hoteliers and conference venues aim to provide a comfortable and safe environment. Safehotels Alliance provides owners and operators with an independent professional third party evaluation and certifies the property under the Global Hotel Security Standard.”

“The Safehotels certificates allow hotels to communicate their high level of safety & security – making them an easy choice for safety conscious guests,” he added.

Rupprecht Queitsch, CEO of Inhoco, said: “Guests and corporate travel managers increasingly ask about the security and safety levels of hotels. It is important for hotels to clearly communicate that they are a safe choice for leisure as well corporate travellers.”

“We are very excited to offer Safehotels certification to hotels in the GCC. The certification will provide a competitive advantage for the hotels and establish this region as a pace-setter with regards to hotel security,” he concluded. – TradeArabia News Service
