Guests can ‘rest
assured’ that TIME Hotels complies with the highest standards of cleanliness,
as society gradually moves out of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions
Dubai, UAE, 9 June 2020: UAE-headquartered hospitality company, TIME
Hotels, is set to implement a new and improved sanitisation
protocol, ‘Sanitised & Ready’ in partnership with Diversey, a global
leading hygiene solutions provider, as the hospitality industry prepares to
embrace the ‘new normal’.
In response
to the tentative steps being taken to ease the COVID-19 restrictions, TIME Hotels
is rolling out the initiative across all of its properties in the UAE, Saudi
Arabia and Egypt – with a wide range of new intensified cleaning measures and
sanitisation procedures being implemented throughout all public areas as well
as in each individual guestroom.
The
improved protocol includes detailed infection control which focuses on the
disinfection of all hotel transportation, reception areas, elevators, public rest
rooms and guestrooms as well as all F&B outlets and kitchens.
Mohamed Awadalla, CEO,
TIME Hotels, said: “‘Sanitised & Ready’, which fully complies with all
government and public health directives, aims to ensure a safe, healthy and
comfortable stay for our valued guests as well as protecting the wellbeing of
our dedicated team members.
“As we
prepare for the full recovery of the UAE, and indeed, wider MENA region’s
hospitality industry this new initiative is being fully embedded into our daily
operations, making all increased sanitisation and cleaning measures standard
practice rather than just a precautionary measure.”
As
part of the new ‘Sanitised & Ready’ protocol, all hard surfaces and areas
frequently touched and used by hotel guests including door handles, elevator
buttons, reception counters and door frames are being sanitised every 30 to 45
minutes, with a dedicated housekeeping assistant assigned to each individual
area.
In
addition, and to provide guests with complete peace of mind, once guestrooms
are deep cleaned, door locks will be sealed with ‘Sanitised & Ready’
stickers which will be need to be removed by guests before they are able to
insert their key into the lock and enter the room.
“An
intensified deep clean, sterilisation and disinfection of each of our
properties will be completed every quarter, however, individual guestroom
sanitisation will be completed on check-out of each guest. As part of the ‘new
norm’ hand sanitisers will be available across all public areas, with wet wipe
sanitisation kits included within in-room guest amenities,” said Awadalla.
“To
ensure our new protocol is strictly adhered to, each team member across all of
our properties will participate in practical training courses, with daily
follow ups and regular coaching sessions as well as assigning a hygiene officer
in every department.”
