The industry will experience rapid changes in all areas. We’ll remain committed to the well-being of all guests and employees with our unique thought “Our Hospitalit­y Is An Opportunit­y To Show Love And Care,” in mind. We are also keeping abreast of the most recent updates on social distancing measures.

Food sanitation and safety regulation­s are paramount to ensure the health of consumers. We will adjust menus based on demand, avoid exotic/wild animal meat and limit options to globally accepted livestock, and include more organic and healthy items. Guests will want to see gloves, masks, and surfaces being wiped down often, practicall­y after every usage. Food displays and buffets need to be protected by food shields (sneeze guards), and proper equipment will be installed to keep the food temperatur­e safe.

Thermal check points are present at the entry, if we suspect anyone with symptoms then the nearest COVID centre will be informed and he/she will be admitted. We will immediatel­y provide surgical mask to the guest and check his/her travel history to the affected area or contact with an affected person. We will also provide hand sanitiser and advice the guest to stay in the room, ensuring that the infected person maintains at least 1-metre distance from other people. We will make sure that the guest’s room is locked and the entire floor, reception and all common areas are deep cleaned and fumigated. In addition to this, linen and other items will be washed separately.

The pandemic has shrunk the big, fat Indian wedding and financial advisers say the newlyweds should be glad. Indian weddings are elaborate, with multiple ceremonies and large gatherings of up to 1,000. But amid the COVID-19 outbreak, the Home Ministry’s guidelines don’t allow more than 50 guests. With the number of infections mounting every day, the restrictio­ns aren’t expected to be eased soon. Fewer guests mean smaller, cheaper weddings. To lure hesitant couples and drive business during the slowdown, hotels and banquet halls are now offering special packages. At Trulyy, we have come up with ‘lockdown destinatio­n wedding offers’ for 50 pax, charges for one-night are ` 2.99 lakhs and for twonights, ` 4.99 lakhs. This package includes all meals (decent menus); mineral water in rooms; tea coffee 24/7; 25 rooms on double occupancy; mandap set up (decent decoration); and DJ set up. Also, for an extra person sharing the same room, we charge ` 3,000 per person per day.
