InSCeHo, the First Certification of Hospitality's Security in Africa

- On one hand, the certification programme allows the hotels to put forward their commitment for the security of their customers and so to differ from their peers. On the other hand, it allows travellers and customers (business travellers, international companies, tourists, tour operators and travel agencies) to choose, thanks to this label, from among a directory of hotels setting up solid and effective security.

- The InSCeHo certification programme is composed of a standard, grouping of technical and organizational criteria constituting a consistent security environment. The standard places the customer in the central point and adapts, at the same time, to the specificities of both business and leisure hospitality. Compliance with the standard is evaluated by an inspection of the hotel. The label is renewed each year after new inspection.

- The programme is directed to all types of hotels, independent and chain, business and leisure, economic and palaces, in Africa and the Middle East .

- The programme puts to the scope of individual travellers as well as international companies, an objective and transparent tool for managing their security.

At the present stage, the certification programme is accessible to hotels who wish to become candidates, to professionals of the travel organization and to international companies that wish to integrate the standard into their procedures for selecting their hotel partners.

- The InSCeHo certification programme brings together the experience of senior professionals from the hospitality security and risk management industries, along with several years of experience in Africa .
