Build the submission around the actual coastal risk
Coastal hospitality accounts combine high building values with rooms revenue, restaurants, bars, pools, docks, outdoor property, utilities, booking systems, employees, and a long recovery timeline after a major storm.
Risks and policy details to review
- Wind, flood, storm surge, water intrusion, and outdoor-property loss
- Extended closure, displaced bookings, and seasonal income concentration
- Pools, docks, restaurants, bars, events, and guest liability
- Utility, refrigeration, elevator, HVAC, and reservation-system interruption
Information to prepare
- Room count, occupancy, revenue, seasonality, and restoration assumptions
- Building, contents, equipment, improvements, and outdoor-property values
- Restaurant, alcohol, pool, beach, dock, event, and transportation operations
- Emergency, evacuation, generator, water-removal, and continuity plans
Questions to resolve before binding
Why can coastal hotel insurance require specialty markets?
High values, catastrophe concentration, guest exposure, income dependency, and a long restoration period can exceed standard-market appetite or capacity.
Should business income reflect an entire tourism season?
The review should model realistic closure and revenue patterns, including peak season, extended restoration, ordinance or law, debris removal, and demand changes after a regional event.
