of course, being contactless check-in, check-out and payments. It includes sanitisation kits for guests, hospital-grade room disinfection, and so many other measures that guests will be discovering in the field.”
Apart from that, Accor has signed an innovative strategic partnership with insurance provider AXA to provide medical support to guests across the 5,000 Accor hotels worldwide.
Bazin adds, “We’ve been working on it for several months, to go one step further, which is to provide medical care and assistance for our guests wherever they are in the Accor network, in the 5,000 hotels, in the 40 Accor brands, all over the 110 countries, if they need any special care or any medical assistance. We decided to enter into a global partnership with AXA. Guests will get the direct benefit of thousands of vetted medical professionals affiliated with AXA, and get access to online telemedicine consultations.”
The ALLSAFE global cleanliness and prevention standards have been developed with and vetted by Bureau Veritas, a world leader in testing, inspections and certification. All the Group's hotels must apply these standards and will be audited either by Accor operational experts or by third-party auditors such as Bureau Veritas to receive this label.
