Having an accommodation business, you are running a lot of risks apart from financial ones: fire, thefts, chemical accidents, household injuries of your guests and personnel, accidents on the trail, and a lot more. You should think of all risks possible at your accommodation and arrange a proper insurance. It is important, since if an accident occurs and your guests maintain that it is your fault, it can cost you the whole lifetime to pay them off. A single fire can destroy totally the accommodation, and you will be broken if you do not have an insurance.Keep in mind that at any moment you might have to face emergency cases and you must be able to take immediate actions.
