Topic > Singapore Hotel Security Conference - 1285

A 2007 Hotel Security Conference was held in Singapore with Singapore's Senior Minister for Law and Home Affairs addressing the audience and highlighting the need to improve the safety of buildings, especially hotels. Ho ( 2007) particularly mentioned in this forum the use and integration of CPTED considerations into future construction or redevelopment plans and as early as possible in all building design plans. He also said that this approach will make security and criZXCxcsDDvcwvme prevention efforts much more effective in the long term. However, based on recent incidents involving hotels, simply using CPTED may not be sufficient as the goal of CPTED is to detect and prevent theft and theft-related issues. Given the ever-increasing number of terrorist attacks occurring around the world, terrorist threats must also be taken into consideration in the design of modern hotels to ensure sufficient protection and security for hotel guests. Suyder (nd) may have rightly pointed out that, there is probably no one in this world who can pinpoint the exact date and actions of the first terrorist attack that ever occurred. However, Lehrman (2006) pointed out that the terrorist attack on the United States in September 2001 is probably one of the worst in terrorist history with such a high number of casualties. This incident has certainly created a lot of fear and awareness across the world and is a wake-up call to people, organizations and governments around the world that there is a serious need for better security not only against everyday thefts and unauthorized intrusions, but also against terrorists. attacks that could take place anywhere at any time that I… middle of paper… would be afraid to travel regardless for business or pleasure, not to mention the needless loss of life all over the world. The public would continue to live in fear and this could bring the world to a standstill, as travel volume would drop dramatically. If successful, Fini and Lakes (2003) suggested that such research studies could be used as a reference for further developments. of other conceptual security plans and design methods to better protect hotels or even other landscapes of the future. To adapt to the ever-changing security landscape and support the ever important protection of life, information and property as it is important that continuous improvement is ongoing through further research and development. This study could represent the significant start of other security plans and further improved protection concepts.
