Insurance coverage for the hospitality industry
Depending on the location of your business, you could host up to hundreds of guests each day in your hotel or motel. Each guest staying on your property or utilizing your services is a liability risk to your business.
A guest could trip and fall on the staircase leading to the second floor of your motel. If you serve a continental breakfast, there is a risk it could be underprepared and cause food poisoning to a number of guests before you are aware of the issue. There are also a number of accidents that could happen around a swimming pool.
Accidents happen to everyone, and it may or may not be your fault as a business owner. Hotel insurance helps you meet legal insurance obligations, protect your business, and care for your guests.
