- The Accor Group, Hyatt, Airbnb,... Everybody is doing now their own "home certification" to make sure that clients are coming back... But how valid is a certification designed by the same people that wants you to stay at their place? Even Portugal has now invested a large amount to certify ALL of its tourism destinations!
- There is an indisputable need today for an independent certification system in order to re-establish trust in travel and self-certifying will not help
- Those were the conclusions of the experts attending the April 15-16 online Seminars Coping with the COVID crisis: Guidelines to the travel and accommodation industry for the post-COVID period and who produced the entire protocol behind the Clean&Care Audit (and continue to improve it)
- Horizon Development is proud to have been at the very origin of this superb initiative to re-establsih trust in travel until a permanent vaccine solution is found for COVID-19
What is the Clean&Care Audit and Certification about?
- The Clean&Care Certification is an independent post-COVID online and onsite audit to check if your destination is prepared to welcome visitors and ensure their safety related to risk of COVID and certification program for the travel, hospitality and tourism industry
- It tells travelers how much the destination management cares about COVID-related risks and how well the national health board’s recommendations have been implemented specifically to that destination
- Based on the safety standard protocols developed specifically for the travel & hospitality industry by medical research, health care, safety, emergency response, ventilation engineering and travel experts during Horizon Development’s April 15-16 Seminars Coping with the COVID crisis: Guidelines to the travel and accommodation industry for the post-COVID period
- Important marketing tool to re-establish customers’ trust in traveling after lockdowns have been lifted
- Accessible, affordable, adaptable and straightforward online international certification process followed by random onsite inspections
