However for some it might not be quite so amazing, because along with the crowds there will unfortunately be a few not quite so happy people. These people would have slipped and injured themselves on wet slippery tiles at their hotels, in shops, bars, restaurants and around swimming pools.

Consider that many visitors coming from countries that endorse litigation (like the USA and the UK) this could be an opportunity to sue companies that have not taken adequate steps for the protection of attendees.

With an increase of slip and fall related injuries and the fact that there are so many shiny, slippery tiles throughout our country, in the event of an accident you will have to demonstrate that you have taken enough precautions to ensure that people do not slip on wet slippery surfaces.

There are many solutions ranging from anti-slip tape to some amazing and invisible solutions that ‘live’ in the structure of the tiles.

Fortunately, with some minor adjustments to these products, today we can easily ensure that our businesses, hotels and Bed and Breakfast residences are safe so that our visitors and guests have a memorable stay for all the right reasons.
