Insurance Coverage for the Hospitality Industry

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.
