Hygiene in the Hospitality and Leisure sector

As organisations prepare to re-open after periods of lockdown, it’s an opportune time to consider the hygiene practices in your hospitality business.

Now more than ever, customers are increasingly informed, conscious and vocal about their hygiene expectations and the effects of poor hygiene on health. This awareness, combined with the availability of online travel reviews and increasing number of rating sites, means hygiene standards have a significant impact on the hospitality industry.

The transient nature of hotel guests and their close interaction with staff and surfaces means germs can circulate quickly and give rise to viral infections. Maintaining the higher hygiene standards across large and varied hotel and leisure and restaurant premises can be challenging, particularly in shared areas such as lobbies and gym and spa facilities.
