UKHospitality (UKH) has launched new guest safety principles for accommodation providers, setting out five areas businesses can use to review and strengthen their security arrangements.
The guidance was developed by a UKH working group comprising representatives from Accor, Centre Parcs, Clermont Hotels, Fuller’s, Haven, Hilton, IHG Hotels and Resorts, Starboard Hotels, Travelodge, Warner Hotels and Whitbread, with the aim of further protecting guest safety, security and privacy while ensuring access to accommodation is managed appropriately.
The five principles are: guest safety comes first; privacy is an essential part of security; verification should be proportionate but effective; well-trained employees are the strongest safeguard; and security arrangements should continually improve.
Each principle includes recommendations and practical scenarios designed to help accommodation providers apply the guidance to their own operations. UKHospitality is encouraging accommodation businesses across the sector to use the principles to assess their existing security arrangements and identify areas where standards can be strengthened.
The guidance is intended to apply across different types of accommodation, from city-centre hotels to rural holiday parks, allowing businesses to adapt the principles to their individual operations.
Allen Simpson, chief executive of UKH, said: “Millions of people stay in accommodation every year, right across the UK. Whether it’s visiting friends and family, taking a holiday or travelling for work, they all expect a safe, secure and welcoming environment, where their privacy and safety are the number one priorities.
“I know that every accommodation provider in the UK takes this important responsibility incredibly seriously. The expertise and experience underpinning that responsibility from across accommodation businesses has driven this detailed guidance forward, and I’m extremely grateful for the dedication, effort and knowledge they have put into developing this document.”
Simpson added: “This guidance has been developed to ensure that any type of accommodation business can use these principles to review their current security arrangements and continue to strengthen standards. I would urge every single accommodation provider to do so.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
