There are some quick easy things hotels can do.

They can sell only small quantities of medication commonly used in suicide attempts.

They can make it harder to access the rooftop of buildings.

They can put small signs giving contact details for a suicide prevention organisation in key places.

These aren't going to end suicide, but they do help reduce the numbers.



They do already, even without any goodwill, a suicide costs north of a few thousand, so it makes sense to try to reduce them.
