RETAIL TRENDS
Sycuan Casino Resort and Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan are among the first hotels in the world to become “Sharecare VERIFIED with Forbes Travel Guide” for health security. The comprehensive facility verification helps ensure that guests and travel planners can book with confidence at properties that have appropriate health safety procedures in place.
This verification comes with an easily identifiable seal of approval — the “Sharecare VERIFIED with Forbes Travel Guide” badge — based on a hotel's compliance with expert-validated best practices that help minimize the risk and impact of COVID-19.
“It is a great honor for both Sycuan Casino Resort and Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan to be recognized for our robust health and sanitation programs,” said Rob Cinelli, general manager at Sycuan Casino Resort. “Since the start of the pandemic, our team has worked tirelessly to create, implement and enforce very strict property-wide health and safety protocols that go well above the measures put in place by government agencies. Going into the new year, safety continues to be of the utmost importance and at the forefront in all of our decisions.”
Developed by Forbes Travel Guide, the online guide and global rating service, and digital health industry leader Sharecare, the comprehensive verification covers more than 360 standards, from health and hygiene protocols, cleaning products and procedures, ventilation and physical distancing to the guest experience and health safety communication with guests and employees. Hotels are required to verify their health protocols on an ongoing basis to ensure continued compliance.
“The pandemic has made it clear that hotels and resorts must, first and foremost, assure guests of their safety,” said Filip Boyen, CEO of “Forbes Travel Guide.” “By becoming VERIFIED, both Sycuan Casino Resort and Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan have demonstrated its commitment to creating a culture of accountability and following global best practices to heighten health security, certified by a third party.”
