As you may have guessed from recent posts, I'm a bit back-logged on magazines. I recently re-read a February 2009 issue of Conde Nast Traveler about hotel safety in light of the Mumbai attacks back in 2008. Though the articles a bit old, the main points are still interesting and relevant for any upcoming travel plans.
It was interesting to read about some of the challenges with hotel security like maintaining a sense of openness and relaxation for guests but also making sure to stay vigilant and on top of all activity. There are a few things that are currently being implemented in properties around the world that seem to be steps in the right direction: advanced employee security training and background checks, limited or no access to underground parking, metal detectors and video cameras at all entry points, etc.
The gold standard, btw? Israel.
