What Hotels Are Doing To Accommodate Customers During COVID-19

Masks are mandatory, be sure to have supplies incase your clients forget or need fresh ones

Our research has shown that the hospitality industry has been one of the hardest hit industries by COVID-19. Health and safety of clients, hotel workers and the public is the most important factor to consider for Hotels right now. As more restrictions are eased, there certainly will be more traffic and business to accommodate.

As Ontario heads into Phase - 3 and non-essential travel will be lifted today,(Friday July 24, 2020) hotels are increasing their cleaning and sanitization protocols. Hotels such as the Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton and others have created a ‘Stay Safe’ Program, which outlines industry-wide guidelines on how to deal with COVID-19. These guidelines try to go above and beyond federal/provincial standards.

The first place to look at is providing quality sanitizing products to your customers. Customers will expect sanitary stations around high traffic areas and in their rooms.

Providing sanitary packages is a great way to make them feel safe and welcomed. Include and encourage the use of the ppe kits (personal protection equipment).
