Talking Hotel Security with Marcel Belkermans, Founder of HIM 4 Hotels Consultancy

With the Growing Spate of Murders in Nigerian Hotels: A Conversation on Hotel Security in Africa

In recent times, the rising cases of murders and violent crimes within Nigerian hotels have sparked deep concern among stakeholders and travelers alike. The hospitality industry, once viewed as a safe haven for rest, leisure, and business, is now being scrutinized for lapses in security protocols and guest safety.

In this compelling episode of Tourism Insight with Mr Horecan, I had the rare privilege of sitting down with Mr. Marcel Belkermans, Founder of HIM 4 Hotels Consultancy, to unpack this critical issue. With decades of industry experience under his belt—including serving as General Manager at the iconic Hotel RwandaLagos Continental Hotel, and Tinapa in Calabar—Marcel brings a wealth of knowledge, leadership, and insight to the table.

We discuss:

  • Why hotel security is not just a local but continental issue.
  • What hotel operators in Africa can learn from global best practices.
  • The gaps in staff training, guest profiling, and surveillance systems.
  • How hotel owners and managers can proactively address the growing insecurity.

This conversation is not only timely but necessary. Africa’s tourism and hospitality potential cannot be realized without a strong foundation of trust, safety, and accountability.

Listen to the full episode now on MrHorecanTV and be part of the dialogue. We are calling on industry leaders, hotel executives, and policymakers to weigh in, share solutions, and push for reform in the hotel security architecture across Africa.
