Hygiene has been at the top of consumers' minds since the pandemic began, and even more now as they increasingly visit F&B outlets. Hoteliers and restauranteurs constantly seek newer ways to fuse sustainable practices with amplified cleaning and hygiene measures to meet these evolved guest expectations.
In this particular article, Hotelier India finds out how the industry stakeholders are following through with measures like cleaning, disinfection, and handwashing in the back of the house and encouraging guests to use hand sanitiser consistently on the premises. We also discover how prioritising cleaning, disinfection, and infection prevention practices are helping them give their guests much-needed peace of mind.
Is cleaning in contemporary times a hygiene theatre focused on appearance rather than protecting guest wellbeing?
Vaneeta Arora, Director-Housekeeping, The Park New Delhi: Before the pandemic, most hotels aimed more at spotless exteriors than actual removal of germs and viruses from their premises. But in the current scenario, they face an enormous responsibility to mitigate COVID-19's spread.
