13th April 2020: FabHotels, India’s fastest growing budget hotels brand, has announced the launch of comprehensive, WHO-compliant pre-emptive safety measures at all of its 600+ properties across the country. The move underlines the budget hospitality chain’s commitment to ensuring the safety and physical well-being of its guests during the COVID-19 lockdown by delivering clean and hygienic living experiences.
As part of the move, FabHotels has trained the housekeeping staff at its properties across India to adhere to strict self-cleansing protocols at all times, as well as to wear sanitised masks and gloves while serving the guests. All high touchpoints of human activity at the brand’s properties are being frequently sanitised to minimise the risk of the viral contagion’s spread, while recommended safety equipment like hand sanitizers, masks, and protective gloves have been made available to all of its service staff.
FabHotels is also offering quarantine stay packages to stranded guests, healthcare professionals and medical authorities at government-prescribed, heavily-discounted rates as it steps up its efforts to support the fight against the novel coronavirus pandemic and alleviate its impact on society. Apart from providing accommodation facilities, the brand will offer full meals to the quarantined guests as part of the special stay package. The company has also reached out to the central & state governments to offer the use of its hotels during the nationwide quarantine and has received positive responses from the state governments of West Bengal, Karnataka, and New Delhi.
Commenting on the development, Mr.Vaibhav Aggarwal – Founder & CEO, FabHotels, said, “Containing the spread of the novel coronavirus effectively requires efforts of all stakeholders, from the government to businesses and individuals. We are proud to support the government’s measures to combat COVID-19 and have implemented WHO-compliant hygiene measures at our properties for the guests who are currently residing with us. We are also offering quarantine accommodation facilities to those who need it. Providing a safe and secure space for our guests during the quarantine is both our business commitment and moral responsibility. FabHotels remains committed to standing with India and its citizens during this most unprecedented global crisis.”
