​I am excited to announce that I had an article titled "6 Best Practices to Keep Your Hotel Safe and Secure" published in the April 2023 issue of LODGING Magazine as part of their Hotel Handbook series. This is a great honor for me, as LODGING Magazine is a leading publication in the hospitality industry and the official publication of the American Hotel & Lodging Association.

As a hotel owner or manager, the safety and security of your guests and employees should be your top priority. In this article, I outline six best practices that can help you keep your hotel safe and secure. These best practices include:

1. Having a good relationship with your local emergency agencies
2. Strong key card control policies
3. Emergency key access control
4. Housekeeping safety
5. Front desk best practices
6. Implementing regular security audits

Each of these best practices is briefly discussed, providing (hopefully) valuable insights and practical tips for hotel owners and managers to implement at their properties.

I hope that this article will serve as a useful guide for hotel owners and managers looking to improve the safety and security of their properties.

I am honored to have been given the opportunity by LODGING Magazine to share my insights with their readership, and especially honored to do so on the same page as recognized industry expert Anthony Melchiorri.

I look forward to contributing again in the future!
