The Global Pandemic
As the Covid-19 pandemic has hit the worldwide business surface from every single aspect, a lot of business propagandas say whether in the food and hotel chain, clothing and apparel chain, housing chain, educational chain, infrastructure chain, or anything else are coming up with multiple strategies to rescue their business. One among the hotel chain business is the Jumeirah Group. Of which the hotel Jumeirah Al Naseem in Dubai is the first one in the world to achieve the Bureau Veritas’ Safeguard Label.
Jumeirah Group has implemented a series of protective measures in its hotels around the globe. These include usage of protective masks, daily temperature checks and extensive hygiene training for all colleagues. Strict social distancing across all areas of the hotel including beaches, pools and gyms (when open), tripling fresh air in public areas, sanitisation fogging – up to three times a day depending on footfall. And strict lift etiquette to ensure guests are travelling alone. In guest rooms, the dedicatedly responsible housekeeping vigorously clean and aerate every day and provide sanitising and hygiene amenities including mask, gel and wipes. Pillows and duvets undergo a thermal hygiene process while pillow and mattress protectors are changed after each checkout.Â
Safety Measures
Rooms are left vacant for three days after each stay as an additional safety measure. Where this is not possible due to high occupancy, the room undergoes a complete sanitisation fogging process. Dining experiences also feature additional precautionary measures. Including full restaurant sanitisation before each service, buffets redefined as á la carte, table distancing and hygiene amenities placed on each table for guests to use. All these Covid-effective moves have made Jumeirah Al Naseem notable for a safeguarded hotel stay. The Bureau Veritas Safeguard label is henceforth awarded based on compliance with all requirements. Following independent verification carried out by a qualified auditor. Remote and field audits are carried out to ensure protective measures are implemented efficiently. With the label awarded if all requirements are met.
More About Bureau Veritas
Bureau Veritas provides reassurance to customers with a dedicated global website showing all the labelled entities approved by auditors. The new safeguard label is set to help travellers identify safe hotels where sanitation protocols are of a very high standard. The priority for all companies is to get back to work as quickly as possible. And with appropriate health, safety and hygiene conditions for employees and their clients. Looking forward to food, retail and hospitality services. Many other hotel chains are still in process to give post pandemic solutions and lead a new normal lifestyle.Â
