The Washington D.C.-based American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) has introduced Safe Stay, the association’s enhanced industry-wide cleaning guidelines.

AHLA’s Partner State Associations, who represent the hotel industry in each state across the country, as well as a number of leading hospitality organizations in the U.S. and Canada, endorsed the new cleanliness guidelines which were developed by industry leaders and public health officials to meet the new health challenges of COVID-19.

“As we reopen hotel doors and welcome back the traveling public, it is critical that the hotel industry across North America unite under one common set of safety, cleanliness and health standards so that our employees and guests can be assured that hotels will be cleaner and safer than ever before,” said Chip Rogers, CEO at AHLA. “Ensuring the safety of our guests and employees is a never-ending challenge, and in the face of the current public health crisis, safety is more paramount than ever.”
