Without casting aspersions towards the owners of the Phulin, I do wonder how many other fires n tourism related businesses we might see in the not too distant future?

 

I know for a fact that insurance companies worldwide are very wary regarding writing hospitality type businesses right now.

Another insurance claim successfully avoided.

Bad planning, just one room, you'll have to do better than that next time.
