Hotels on the Romanian seaside are awaiting the season’s opening, but are already preparing a series of changes so that visiting tourists feel safe.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They will have to eat in shifts in hotels that do not have sufficiently large spaces to avoid crowding in restaurants; only one family will sit at a table, sunbeds will be spaced out and sanitized after each use, and mattresses might disappear from the beach.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rooms will be sanitized at the change of tourists, maids will wear masks and gloves, while accommodation will be predominantly online to avoid queuing at the reception, where demarcation lines will be drawn anyway, according to the Mamaia Constanta Employers’ Organization, OPMCTA.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Employer representatives recommend that all Romanian tourists primarily stay in the country this summer and this year, as Romania is the safest destination for them. When looking to buy a travel package, they should do so through authorized sellers and choose classified accommodation structures, whether small like guesthouses or large hotels.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Only classified structures can ensure compliance with hygienic-sanitary measures, as these are the ones checked by public health and sanitary-veterinary directorates at least once or several times per season, which will be another guarantee that safety measures will be respected.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Seaside hotels generally work with seasonal staff housed in dedicated rooms at the hotel or nearby, so they will not have to travel between home and work or through the city, which is a major advantage for tourist safety, as this involves most employees in operational departments. For the rest of the employees, it is possible that upon entering the hotel they will pass through disinfection gates, have their temperature taken, and then go to the locker rooms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Administrative departments will not have direct contact with the client and will work in small teams (1-2-3 employees in an office).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Regarding public catering, hoteliers are considering operating terraces, which is why large complexes with appropriately sized terraces will be advantaged.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Social distancing measures will be taken by increasing the space between tables, limiting the number of people per table and per family, and organizing more buffet areas.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For maximum safety on the beach, the distance between sunbeds and umbrellas will be increased, and sunbeds and small tables will be disinfected after each tourist. A possible option is to give up sunbed mattresses this season.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To prevent receptions from becoming crowded, seaside hoteliers will encourage online check-in. In parallel, in tourist reception areas, demarcation lines will be drawn to maintain distance, and check-ins will be coordinated so that there are no queues.<\/div>\n
