1. ONLINE CHECK-IN
Holidaymakers can soon make check-in contactless at many hotels by checking in online via the hotel's website or via their smartphone.
2. DISTANCE RULE
In public areas such as in the restaurants, corridors or gyms, all employees are required to keep a distance of 1.5 to two metres between them and the guests.
3. PERSONNEL PLANNING
Staff will work together in fixed teams in order to reconstruct possible infection chains.
4. RESTAURANTS
To limit the number of guests in restaurants capacities will be significantly reduced. Tables will be set up at a minimum distance of 1.5 metres apart. This and local requirements limit the number of guests in the restaurant.
5. EXTENSION OF OPENING HOURS
In order to provide sufficient space for all guests, the opening hours of restaurants and other hotel facilities will be extended.
6. ENTERTAINMENT AND ACTIVITIES
Only events, sports and entertainments involving a small number of participants and without close contact will be made available. Golf or tennis, for example, can take place, but football tournaments cannot. The spa offer and also the childcare will be adapted according to local requirements and offered with new hygiene and distance rules.
7. EXPANSION OF DISINFECTANT DISPENSERS
The number of dispensers will be significantly increased so that guests and employees can disinfect their hands at all important contact points. For example, all locations where food and drink is offered, sports facilities and in the lobby area.
8. ROOM CLEANING
Extensive new cleaning practices will be put in place to provide the best possible protection against potential Covid-19 viruses. All rooms will be thoroughly deep cleaned before the arrival of guests and the same intensely robust cleaning protocols will be applied during every guest change over.
9. RESTRICTION OF SELF-SERVICE
Food and beverages are served to guests by employees wherever possible. They wear protective masks when doing so. Self-service offerings such as buffets are offered on a reduced scale.
10. TRAINING BY INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
TUI has all employees in its own hotels trained by an independent auditor.
* The measures are introduced in addition to the legal requirements of the respective travel destination and are continuously adapted to current findings and developments.
