SLHTA Meets with Hotel Heads of Security to Discuss the Development of a National Tourism Security Plan and Training Program
Tourism security expert, Dr. Peter Tarlow, and SLHTA’s Security Liaison Officer Mr. Anthony Martial met with hotel heads of security to discuss the dire need for training within the sector. This allowed for an in depth dialogue with persons who deal with tourism related safety and security issues on a daily basis.
After thorough dialogue, some of the key areas highlighted for the training included: the training of Managers in tourism safety and security, creation of security plans for hotels, handling cases of sexual harassment and customer service training for security personnel. It was also noted that there is a need for fast tracking the cases of crimes against visitors.
