By recommending GSA-accredited hotels, travel management companies can ensure the highest standards of hotel security
By choosing GSA-accredited hotels, travellers know they are staying in a hotel that has reached exacting security standards
We all treat hotels like a home-from-home, but increasingly they are a target for criminals or terrorists. So how can you know where it is safest to stay? GSA provides the answer. We help hospitality venues around the world clearly demonstrate the steps they have taken to ensure the safety of their guests.
We do this through the world’s only independently verified, hotel security accreditation scheme, which is underpinned by our years of top-level security expertise. This year your guests are facing a new kind of threat.
In response, we have launched a COVID-19 Risk Management Audit. Based on the same principles as our security accreditation, it enables you to show you have taken the right steps to keep your guests as safe as possible
Our team is a global network of former police, security, military and counter terrorism experts with hundreds of years collective expertise in creating and maintaining secure environments.
GSA is the first independent global standard for hotel security. It delivers reassurance and peace of mind for travellers, corporates with travelling employees and travel management companies.
The GSA standard has been created in partnership with several international bodies and is constantly evolving. It delivers the clearest independent global standard hotel security
