Defence Possibilities of Hotel Facilities against Explosions (Bombing Attacks)

Abstract

The goal of the perpetrators in case of a terrorist attack, besides causing as much damage as possible, is to widely publicise their actions. One of the most commonly used tools for this is explosives, which can be delivered to its destination hidden or by the use of force, for example breaking through with a truck. Attacks tend to target locations where a large number of people from various places stay within the same space. Events from the previous years prove that such attacks can occur in hotel facilities popular amongst tourists. In this study we prove that the aesthetics and high efficiency protection can both be ensured by summarising the possibilities of improving the level of defence in such facilities with the use of physical security equipment.
