Best Practices to keep our visitors healthy
In an era when illness can spread around the globe in a matter of days, it is
important for those of us in the travel and tourism industry to take positive steps to insure that we help keep our visitors
healthy as well as happy.
Simple steps like encouraging frequent hand washing among our employees and guests or encouraging sick
employees to stay home can make a real difference.
We've investigated a variety of information and "best practices" from state, federal and international public health experts. Below is a selection of that information:
