Travel with Condience in a Covid-19 World
“With Covid-19, we know travelers require new levels of health and safety reassurances. Now more than ever, we want our guests to feel the same level of comfort they always have when they stay with us,” stated Gurrola. “This is why we have introduced a global prevention hygiene and sanitation program called Travel with Confidence. It is a strict protocol program that addresses every aspect of the hotel, including constant sanitizing of guestrooms and public facilities, mandatory social distancing in all public areas and stringent staff procedures to ensure everyone remains healthy and safe.”
In an effort to provide even more peace of mind to guests, POSADAS, Grand Fiesta Americana’s corporate parent company, has launched Travel with Confidence Protection. This new brand initiative provides guests with optional travel and medical expense coverage for $4 per day, per suite and covers accidents and non-pre-existing diseases including COVID-19. It is designed to offer guests medical, legal, and psychological assistance and care for any other possible serious events. Coverage, which is billed to the guests’ final folio, is active for the duration of a guests stay, allowing them to receive any necessary attention immediately, safely, and with professional discretion. More information on the resort’s Travel With Confidence program can be found on their website and more details on the new Travel With Confidence Protection Program can be found on the Posadas website.
