Background of the Study
Safety and security are critical components of the hospitality industry, influencing tourists' choices of accommodation. In Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, the growth of the hospitality sector has been accompanied by increased safety concerns. Threats such as theft, unauthorized access, and terrorism necessitate robust security management systems in hotels.
Globally, hotels have adopted advanced security measures such as surveillance systems, access control technologies, and staff training to ensure guest safety. In Abuja, however, challenges such as inadequate investment in security infrastructure and inconsistent safety protocols persist. This study evaluates safety concerns in hotel security management, identifying gaps and recommending strategies for improvement.

Incidents of theft, security breaches, and poor emergency preparedness undermine tourists' confidence in local hotels. Additionally, the lack of standardized security protocols exacerbates these challenges. This study examines the safety concerns in hotel security management in Abuja and proposes solutions to address them effectively.
