How Does Hotel Insurance Work?
After purchasing a policy tailored to their needs, hotels make regular premium payments to the insurance company. In the event of a covered incident, the hotel can file a claim, initiating an investigation by the insurance company. Upon approval, the insurer provides compensation to the hotel, either through reimbursement or direct payments. The policy is subject to renewal, and risk management services may accompany the coverage, offering guidance on safety measures and loss prevention. Regular review and communication with insurance professionals are essential to ensure the hotel maintains adequate protection against evolving risks.
