Add A Healing Touch to Post Pandemic Resort Experience

Post-Covid Hospitality & Travel

Be it a tiger safari, sightseeing, or cultural experience the visitors expect a lot. Yes, a lot of warmth and care, and in post-covid-19 travel, a lot of hygiene and SOPs are in place. Whether it is a budget lodge or a high-end resort the new normal is to prevent coronavirus infection.    



This calls for intense hygiene most of the premium hospitality businesses would feel offended by this statement. But believe me, this is hygiene with a difference it includes paraphernalia like masks and gloves. The thermal scanner is here to stay. As the new normal lays stress on hygiene, personal care cannot be neglected. Frequent bathing and regular hand washing with soap or sanitizer have become not a practice but an imperative. How can you as a resort staff keep the property clean & disinfected, and not self-cleanse often?



The lodges have been burdened with a lot of extras as regards chemicals, clothing, cleaning, and washing paraphernalia. The new normal may be a fun spoiler a bit if you experience the social distancing it imposes, and thus prevents get-togethers and partying...the feeling of being safe is itself exhilarating with the chances of infection peeking in from unknown quarters completely negated.

Those willing to wager travel in this period would be brave souls willing to leave the sanctity of their homes and experience the World like they did before. This is sort of a community initiative or lending a helping hand these are the clients who should be treated with hand in gloves literary speaking. They would expect greater warmth and care while the SOPs post-pandemic would be an assurance. They are here to revive the hotel industry.




Hence true travel professionals and accommodation providers would pay heed to this. In the post, covid hospitality paradigm disposal and scant use have become the norm. Although this goes against the principles of economic use, prevention of infection from one guest to another is a practice that carries weight now. Greater.

Disposing of desk and bathroom accessories that cannot be cleaned or recycled has to be done without hesitation. This applies to all the paraphernalia that guests before departure may have come into contact.

The contact spaces with the reach of wandering guests, hosts, and staff need frequent sanitation using disinfectant. The luxury suite, or rooms, bathrooms, balconies, sit-outs, and passages all need to be disinfected frequently. Even the library books and reading tables need a dose of disinfectant. There are lots of chemicals that are going to be used. This use of chemicals is not a good or Eco-friendly new normal, but as long as the contingency prevails that practice remains.



Travelers not in groups will have to be kept at a distance at the coffee table and dining. Even during safari or excursion sharing cannot be possible. The guest distancing norms are set as post pandemic SOPs but the imperative lies with the guests themselves.



Organizing the best stay experience which is sound and safe is the way forward now. Offering the best thrills and frills during the heritage or nature experience is imperative for successful operations. Deliver the best to the guests not only for a perfect holiday but for their social media content and memories that will last a lifetime.
