Hotel, Restaurant, and Travel Law: A Preventive Approach

Hotel, Restaurant, and Travel Law: A Preventive Approach is a comprehensive, yet approachable, guide to the legal knowledge needed to both enhance the guest experience and prevent lawsuits. Often, most lawsuits can be prevented if management and staff are properly trained to recognize potential hazards and guard against them.

In this way, the two concerns of good service and lawsuit prevention overlap substantially.
