I read the London Times newspaper yesterday where it was suggested that a hotel towel may have been used to strangle the Pakistani cricket coach.

The chambermaid discovered Woolmer’s body. “The chambermaid has been traumatised and she’s going to need a lot of support,” said Mark Shields, Jamaica’s Deputy Commissioner of Police.

General manager of the hotel, Eldon Bremner, said security was beefed up for Cricket World Cup, as this was even a requirement.

The backlash from this event is liable to effect the whole Jamaican tourist industry, and already the rumours are spreading about concerns about security in the island. The knock on effect could hurt many more businesses and the country as a whole.

Maurice Watts of Melville Marketing suggests that the reputation that Hotels and Catering businesses have built up can be destroyed in minutes, and certainly his comment has clarity here.

Few businesses have a disaster recovery plan and for those that do, it's mainly about physical facilities and IT reprovisioning.
