This presentation will use real case studies to highlight the key role partnerships play and how they are helping to shape improvements in the security of soft targets.Learning from experience is a crucial opportunity that should not be overlooked. Sharing those learnings with others should also be viewed as an opportunity. Recent attacks in Paris, Brussels and Bamako all provided us with unique experiences and in each case the value of public-private and private - private partnerships played a crucial role in our crisis management. Since the attacks, Radisson Hotel Group has increased its contributions to collaborative efforts around the world including the Global Counter Terrorism Forum initiative on soft target protection, the EU action plan for protection of public places and European hotel industry trade association projects to increase awareness, preparedness and resilience in the European hotel, restaurant and catering industries.
