AHLA Launches 'Safe Stay' for Enhanced Industry-wide Hotel Cleaning Standards

/

The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) launched “Safe Stay,” an initiative focused on enhanced hotel cleaning practices, social interactions, and workplace protocols to meet the new health and safety challenges and expectations presented by COVID-19. Safe Stay will seek to change hotel industry norms, behaviors and standards to ensure both hotel guests and employees are confident in the cleanliness and safety of hotels once travel resumes.

AHLA has convened the Safe Stay Advisory Council of industry leaders representing all segments of the hotel industry, who will work in conjunction with public health experts, scientists, and medical leaders to develop a series of best practices for the industry, including the following:

  • Enhanced cleaning standards throughout the hotel, including guest rooms, meeting spaces, common areas, and back-of-house spaces

  • Superior cleaning products with a greater concentration of bacteria-killing ingredients, in accordance with CDC guidelines 

  • Social distancing practices and reducing person-to-person contact

  • Increased transparency throughout the guest journey
