Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What will staying in a hotel look like in the
near future?
After the pandemic, you may expect no one will
be sitting right next to you on the airplane or in the movie theater. But how a
hotel stay will be like? You will most likely see very different hygiene standards
and service practices from the pre-COVID-19 era. Here are some examples.
Entry check: your body temperature may be checked
before check-in.
Check-in and Check-out: minimum interaction,
shielded counter, contactless payment with a smartphone.
Elevator: maximum capacity of two or four
persons.
(Lower
floors may be preferred to avoid elevator rides)
Door key and knob: contact-free locking &
unlocking, entrance & exit. (Sounds convenient?)
Rooms: disinfection will become priority
number one for both the guests and the operator.
Breakfast Buffet: your favorite self-serving all-you-can-eat
buffet may be replaced with a cafeteria-style serving or a-la-carte menu.
Gym and Spa: most unlikely to open unless
effective medicine or reliable vaccine becomes available.
Bar and cafe: will be operated under strict
social distancing guidelines.
(With a face mask and social distancing, gests
and servers may have to speak loudly or shout!)
So, will there be a new star rating by hygiene standards,
like a five-star hygiene maintenance with three-star service/facility hotel?
Enjoy reading the article and think about what
makes you feel safer for your next hotel stay.
