Open-air hotels
Howden can help you deal with the natural risks you face by offering insurance solutions tailored to your needs and expectations.
What are the risks ?
Flood risks
Flooding, often caused by rivers overflowing their banks, is a major risk for campsites near rivers or wetlands. Effective management and preparation are essential to limit the impact of flooding.
Storms : A frequent natural hazard
Storms and their violent winds can cause considerable damage to outdoor infrastructures, particularly tents, mobile homes and light structures.
Hail risk: Protecting your infrastructure
Hail is a risk that is sometimes underestimated, but it can cause major damage to vehicles, buildings and outdoor equipment.
Natural disasters: between prevention and response
Natural disasters such as earthquakes and landslides are less frequent but can have a devastating impact on areas at risk. If you are properly prepared, you can limit the loss of life and property.
