Hotel Industry Releases its Top 5 Requirements to Travel Safety

As the industry begins to recover, it is critical to protect the guest and colleagues’ health and safety. Help every guest to experience a clean and safe hotel no matter where they stay.  Hotel operators and owners have a role and responsibility to provide a welcoming, safe, and comfortable environment for team members, guests, and communities.

The American Hotel & Lodging Association as part of its Safe Stay health and safety initiative has released five key recommendations on ways hotel guests can travel more safely. The guidelines for hotels and guests are called the Safe Stay Guest Checklist.

The Safe Stay Guest Checklist includes: 

1. Require face coverings in all indoor public spaces and practice social distancing in all common areas.
2. Choose contactless options, where available, including online reservations, check-ins, and payments.
3. Consider daily room cleaning, only if necessary. Ask the hotel about your options.
4. Request contactless room service delivery.
5. Refrain from traveling if you have, or recently had, any symptoms of COVID-19 or contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID-19.

This step is one of the easiest ways to help slow the transmission of COVID-19. We all must play a role in slowing the spread of COVID-19, and encouraging the adoption of these guidelines is an important and meaningful step to take together. This easy-to-follow checklist can help protect everyone from the spread of the virus.

As this list was released, the industry begins to recover again, and having a career in the hospitality industry is in high demand again. A career in hospitality has actually become something that is often looked at.
