With the pandemic taking off most of our plans from the travel list, from now on, travellers and guests will also make safety and hygiene measures as a priority while choosing accommodation. The speed with which everything has happened during COVID19 pandemic is contrasted by the severe measures that have paralysed travel. Due to this, many hotels have decided to close their doors.
Considering the severity of the situation, the first thing we, Jaypee Hotels, as one of the best 5-star hotel in Delhi/NCR, is trying to implement, is to transmit a message of security and normality amongst all. Classifying the actions into three main groups, we are observing:
- Security: In the new normal, safety and hygiene measures will be a priority for the guests while choosing the accommodation. They will surely demand that the hotels implement strict cleaning protocol to deal with the coronavirus. We are:
- Creating a record of travellers with their history of recent trips by both guests and employees
- Ensuring the availability of pick and drop facility of the guests from the airport or stations to avoid the exposure of public transport
- Providing frequent laundry services
- Creating a protocol for epidemics or quarantines
