Based on guidelines and recommendations from

Committed to Transparency

COVID-19 has brought hygiene standards to the forefront of people’s minds, with 86% of participants in an HRS survey finding that travelers will choose a hotel with a revised COVID-19-driven hygiene standard. Hotels are going to have to assure guests that they have improved hygiene measures implemented.

 

At HRS, our main priority is to ensure the health, safety and security of our customers and business partners. This is why HRS has partnered with SGS, the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, to develop the Clean & Safe Protocol.

New label displays in booking tools

Available to all hotels globally

HRS has invited all hotel partners globally to their individual account on the HRS Hotel Audit Portal. 

Hotel partners can easily study the Clean & Safe Protocol and confirm the mandatory measures being implemented effectively and continuously monitored. Where an independent third party has audited the implementation, additional data can be provided easily within the assessment process. 

"COVID-19 has fundamentally changed the world. It remains our priority to ensure our customers' continued health and safety. With this new protocol we help our partners to deliver a consistent standard while enhancing transparency for our customers."

- Tobias Ragge, CEO HRS GROUP
