FAM Hotel Threat Assessments

FAM hotel threat assessments are used as a sensible low cost security strategy for corporations and traveling executives. These assessments are area oriented towards examination and analysis of corporate hotels worldwide.

Assessments look at hotels and nearby tourist boundaries through a microscope, noting threat components, hotel characteristics, and whether or not the security defenses offered are sufficient to discourage potential attacks. Other factors considered in our hotel threat assessments, include whether or not national police provide formidable crime defenses, whether hotel is in a politically sensitive country, and type of criminal/terrorist dissidents known to operate in the area. While many terrorist and radical groups are well known, there are many others whose presence are unknown that operate within the well-defined tourist and hotel boundaries overseas.

FAM hotel threat assessments now make it possible to evaluate risk and possible threat scenarios to determine the most optimal safety environment and hotels that have the greatest security impact for overall health and comfort.

FAM hotel threat assessments are time-sensitive resources that can be completed within a 48-hour period immediately prior to overseas departure, thereby reducing risk and increasing the effectiveness of overseas travel.
