Jurys Inn and Leonardo Hotels have implemented new cleaning protocols to keep both guests, staff, and the community safe amid the pandemic. The company has worked with the Environmental Health Organisation and took advice from the WHO when creating their most recent cleaning plan. They are also working in partnership with Ecolab on recommended cleaning products and protocols to enhance their cleanliness standards within all areas of their hotels.
Travel’s back – but the same issues for finance teams remain – gaining visibility and control over the complete spend.
Workforce travel is an evolving landscape at the moment, to help companies get back on the road, we sat down (virtually) with Keith Watson our Global VP of Supply to get his insight on the accommodation industry and share some tips that will help companies prepare to travel again. This is the first in our “Getting Back on the Road” Series that aims to answer the questions travel managers and business travellers have.
We spoke to Richard Adler, Vice President Sales – UK & Europe and Strategic Accounts for Millennium & Copthorne Hotels, a London-based global hotel company, which owns, manages and operates over 135 hotels across some 80 locations worldwide about the measures they have in place to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Roomex customers will see a new icon in their accommodation results indicating that we have personally confirmed that the hotel they are booking meets or exceeds the cleaning standards as recommended by the World Health Organisation.
Best Western is the most recent hotel chain to expand its cleaning protocols due to the impacts of COVID-19.
No matter what industry you’re working in, where you’re living or where you’re going, you have one main concern. Safety. The Coronavirus pandemic has permeated into nearly every aspect of our lives over the last few months, and will likely for the year to come. As many parts of society slowly open up, travel will be required, be it by plane, train, or car. If you’re a travel manager, a procurement director, or anyone that looks after travel – suddenly you require more control and take further responsibility for everyone’s safety.
As countries, cities, and states begin to open up and governments ease restrictions, travel will begin to pick up but it may look different to before. Hotel chains large and small are stepping up to create a safer environment for those traveling during and after the pandemic. Most have gone above and beyond to give travellers peace of mind.
The travel industry, like most industries, has undergone major changes due to the impacts of COVID-19. As a result of the pandemic, many of us have been working from home to halt the spread of the virus. As countries, cities, and states begin to open up and governments ease restrictions, travel will begin to pick up, first domestically and then internationally. That’s not to say that travel will be the same as it was in 2019. Business and leisure travellers will have new worries, concerns and requests – all with the goal of keeping safe.
COVID-19 has quickly impacted nearly every aspect of our lives. It’s taken a serious toll on our healthcare infrastructure, the economy, and of course, travel. Many of us have been working remotely since the beginning of March – and have somewhat adjusted to a new normal. Our governments have put restrictions in place to protect us, and as they begin to lift, we face new questions, anxieties, and challenges.
