“The Covid-19 pandemic will change the travel industry more than any other major event in recent history. The world is changing and we have to adapt, offering our guests all necessary precautions at a fair price. We expect the industry to start growing in summer but we estimate the travel sector will fall 80% this year compared with 2019. This is a segment of the economy that employs 230,000 people in Romania and requires massive government support during this period,” said Gerhard Erasmus, CEO Apex Alliance Hotel Management.
The three hotels have a total of 678 rooms to be professionally disinfected by a certified company before welcoming back guests. The hotels will leave guests the option of cleaning their own rooms in exchange for membership points they can spend on future accommodation or in the hotel restaurants.
Hilton hotels in Bucharest will also implement a 72-hour wait period before giving a room to the next guest.
