Experts predict the travel industry could shrink by at least 50% as a direct result of Coronavirus 😬
The City of Angels is the place to be seen – and at Santa Monica’s Oceana hotel you’ll be in good company."A hotel’s defence against the spread of germs will begin before a guest even enters a hotel," explains Nicky. He believes that at mid-range or lower-end hotels, this could mean automatic sliding doors — which many already have — and bellhops wearing personal protective equipment at higher-end properties to open and close doors for guests.
"It’s possible we’ll see at least a pause in guests handing over their credit card and ID, and payments may be limited to the card listed on the original reservation made online so cards don’t need to be exchanged and handled by multiple people," he said. Hotels will likely set up touch-free hand sanitiser stations in lobbies and throughout their properties, and we could see disinfectant wipes located outside elevators so guests can wipe down the buttons. "Perhaps we’ll even see a return to a bygone era where luxury properties would staff an elevator with an attendant — wearing a mask and gloves, of course," he added."We’ll likely see hotels roll out contactless initiatives, such as mobile check-in and digital keys.
