Who pays for fire damage?
The cost of repairing damage from a hotel fire like the one in Folkestone is usually covered by insurance. Hotels carry comprehensive policies that include fire damage, business interruption, and liability for guests. This ensures that the hotel can be restored and reopened, and any financial losses are mitigated, protecting the business.
