SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Ultimate destination for trips to Korea: LOTTE HOTEL safe and clean as a
hospital
- LOTTE HOTEL, the first Korean hotel brand to achieve GBAC STAR(TM) for all
its 5-star hotels
- Equipped with strict hygiene systems to prevent diseases spreading
The catchword for V-nomics of the post pandemic era is "safety". Global chain
hotels have introduced services befitting the new normal by establishing
hygiene systems and preventive measures, and by offering tactless services.
According to a survey conducted by Expedia Group in July earlier this year,
travelers prioritized hygiene conditions, preventive measures and tactless
services when planning their trips. Whilst the expectation for safety standards
continues to grow higher, Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR(TM)
certification achieved by LOTTE HOTEL, the largest hotel group in Korea, draws
attention.
In December 2020, SIGNIEL SEOUL/BUSAN, LOTTE HOTEL SEOUL/WORLD/JEJU /ULSAN have
achieved the GBAC STAR(TM) certification from International Sanitary Supply
Association (ISSA). The first accreditation was given to SIGNIEL SEOUL in
November 2020, followed by all five-star LOTTE HOTELS in Korea's international
acknowledgement.
ISSA is the most reputable worldwide association for hygiene industry located
in Northbrook, Illinois, U.S.A. GBAC STAR(TM) is the accreditation for hotels,
restaurants and other public facilities that strictly abide by hygiene
regulations and have preventive systems. Facilities are systematically
evaluated based on 20 strict global standards concerned with cleaning,
disinfection and preventive programs. The evaluation is conducted by the Global
Biorisk Advisory Council comprised of experts in biorisk field.
"The GBAC STAR(TM) certification is a global accreditation for disinfection
system within a facility," said a LOTTE HOTEL spokesperson. "A facility
accredited with this certification constantly cleans and disinfects to the
degree that of a hospital." Like this, LOTTE HOTEL has fortified disinfection
and hygiene management to ensure guests' safety against virus and
contamination. In August 2020, ISSA experts gave consultation by checking on
cleaning, disinfection and preventive standards through hotel inspection.
In general, hotels regularly disinfect those that are in frequent reach such as
door handles, remote controllers and faucets when housekeeping. In addition to
regular cleaning, LOTTE HOTEL disinfects all surfaces that come in contact with
people, including tables and floors, using disinfectants for COVID-19
recommended by the American EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), thus
preventing cross infection. The cleanliness of all contact surfaces is strictly
controlled with regular ATP tests that measure microorganism.
David H.S. Kim, the CEO of LOTTE HOTEL said, "since achieving the
internationally accredited Food Safety Management System (ISO22000)
certification for the first time for a Korean hotel brand in 2015, LOTTE HOTEL
has been strictly managing safety and hygiene abiding by global standards.
Based on our brilliant performances and know-how accumulated over the past
forty years, LOTTE HOTEL will continue to propose new prospect in hotel
services in the post pandemic era."
