Post Covid Hospitality & TravelBe it tiger safari, sightseeing or cultural experience the visitors expect a lot. Yes lot of warmth and care and in post covid-19 travel, lot of hygiene and SOPs 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 mask and gloves. The thermal scanner is here to stay. As the new normal lays stress on hygiene, personal care cannot be neglected. Frequent bathing, regular hand wash with soap or sanitiser has 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 lot of extras as regards chemicals, clothing, cleaning and washing paraphernalia. The new normal may be a fun spoiler a bit but if you experience the social distancing it imposes, and thus prevents get-together and partying...the feeling of being safe is itself exhilarating with the chances of infection peeking in from unknown quarters completely negated.

This is a short of a community initiative or lending a helping hand these are the clients which should be treated 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 has 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 age 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 the staff need frequent sanitation using the 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. Travellers not in group 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. Organising 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. =================================================== Uday is naturalist, a writer and loves to blog on travel and wildlife.
