Since the beginning of 2020, the hotel industry has suffered significant losses as travelers were restricted from entering the country, and lockdowns were imposed. Now, as COVID-19 shows a little sign of backing away and the vaccines are rolled out rapidly, travelers are ready to pack their bags and travel. However, travelers are still worried about their safety, and red flags are being raised concerning social distancing, hygiene, and safety protocols at hotels and guest houses. 

Although the hotels have taken numerous measures in the form of surface disinfection, use of masks and sanitizers, etc. what about the threat lurking in the air? It is not visible to the guests, but threatens their sense of safety and directly impacts the guest experience. Hoteliers are grappling with how to equip their rooms with the right technology to safeguard the visitors from the airborne threat of the COVID-19 spread. Furthermore, guests expect new-age hotel rooms – voice assistance, smart lighting, mobile-first interactions, and in current circumstances, an assurance that the air they are breathing is not carrying deadly infections. 

So what can hotels do to address these concerns and ensure bio-safety for their guests? Let’s find out:

• Introduce Strict Safety Protocols

Several hotel groups have already declared their unwavering commitment to guest safety. Protocols such as wearing masks, regular sanitization, surface disinfection, thermal screening, and social distancing are strictly followed. Contactless technology that keeps people socially distanced can also be adopted to lower the risk of transmission. Enforcing these protocols for the staff and guests is the first basic step to prevent coronavirus spread.

• Face COVID-19 with UV-C Light Sanitizers

With new research proving the primary spread of the virus through the air, hotels must introduce effective air disinfection solutions, such as central air purification systems and UV-C light sanitizers. These add value to the overall experience, enabling guests to enjoy their stay and eliminating their worries. A growing number of hospitality providers are already leveraging central air purification systems for PM 2.5 control, and these can be upgraded to meet the CDC and ASHRAE guidelines for the use of UV-C.

The UV-based airborne sanitization systems can be installed in the air conditioning ducts to kill viruses and other airborne pathogens. With a primary focus on the safety of guests, these UVGI systems offer a secure and sanitized hospitality experience. 

• People Trust What They See, Even Clean Air! 

Combining central air purification systems with real-time air quality monitoring can help build guest trust and confidence. By displaying a LIVE air quality using IoT sensors with inside-outside air quality index comparison reassures guests of their safety in enclosed spaces.

Correctly engineered air purification systems can drastically reduce cross-contamination risk, making the indoor environment clean and safe. Hotel owners should focus on disinfecting the air and making air quality visible. Hotels can provide guest interaction with clean air across multiple interfaces such as voice assistants, mobile applications, and TV displays as a part of the engagement experience. This will make the seemingly invisible efforts in safe air visible to the guest, helping build trust.
