AHLA Releases Updated Safe Stay Guidelines

We are excited to announce an updated version of the AHLA Safe Stay Guidelines, an industry-wide, enhanced set of health and safety protocols designed to provide a safe and clean environment for all hotel guests and employees. The health and safety of our guests and employees remains the top priority for our industry. In keeping with this commitment, the evolving AHLA Safe Stay Guidelines remain an important tool in supporting our industry.

The updated Safe Stay Guidelines include the following:

1. Recently announced “Safe Stay Guest Checklist”
2. Information on face coverings requirement in all indoor public spaces
3. Updated overview on events and meetings protocols
4. Member resource information on collateral available on the Safe Stay website

In addition, we have been thrilled to see far-reaching engagement from our industry to train staff on the elements of the Safe Stay Guidelines.  Thank you to everyone who has adopted the recently launched COVID-19 Precautions for Hotels, an online course developed in partnership with the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI).  For those who have not yet adopted this tool, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to properly train hotel staff on the enhanced safety and cleanliness guidelines. 

Utilizing these best practices, including requiring face coverings and practicing social distancing in public spaces, will create an even safer environment for all our guests and employees.  If you have not already done so, please show your support for this initiative and Endorse Safe Stay.
