HOTEL STANDARDS REVISIONS OVERVIEW | 2021 2021 HOTEL STANDARDS REVISIONS OVERVIEW 2021 FORBES TRAVEL GUIDE STANDARDS COVID-19 As health safety emerges as the single most important issue the hospitality industry continues to face into 2021, the numerous modifications properties have made to their facility and service offerings have been considered throughout this year's updates. Forbes Travel Guide has retired standards (such as Plastic wrappings and plate covers do not remain on any dishes ) and created new standards (such as There is a strong sense of health safety and security throughout the property ) based on COVID-19 service adjustments that are expected to continue well into the next year. In addition, notes regarding further concessions have been added in the revised standards sections. We will continue to assess the global responses to service over 2021 and will look to reinstate standards and/or make further concessions when it makes sense to do so. 2 2 Private and Confidential ?Five Star Travel Corporation, 2021.

The word "elements" has given the incorrect impression that a tangible item is required in order to meet these standards, but many can be met through service gestures, as well. Wellness Forbes Travel Guide is thrilled to present a new classification that will be incorporated into Hotel, Restaurant and Spa standards ? Wellness. Though health and well-being are certainly not new trends in the luxury travel space, today personal well-being is at the forefront of the guest's mind as they make choices on where to stay. These standards, which focus on quality of sleep, nutrition, fitness, design, hydration and mental health, will ensure that guests are able to continue healthy lifestyles and incorporate wellness into their travel plans. 3 3 Private and Confidential ?Five Star Travel Corporation, 2021.
