The Pennsylvania Association of Bed & Breakfast Inns (PABBI) and
health officials have requested that individual bed & breakfast
owners and innkeepers implement a set of voluntary commitments to ensure
the safety of their staff and guests during the COVID-19 recovery
period. Named “The Bed & Breakfast Inns Promise,” the set of
voluntary commitments is available for any bed & breakfast or inn
that is reopening its property to guests. Upon arrival, guests can view
the commitments at the entrance of the property.
“Participants will continue to comply with federal, state and local
guidance as a reopening process begins,” Carl Kosko, PABBI board chair
said. “With bed & breakfasts, inns, and guests working together, we
can make the bed-and-breakfast industry as vibrant as it was prior to
the impact of COVID-19.”
The promise includes: safe sanitation practices; staff participation in
daily health survey; indoor and outdoor seating organized through social
distancing guidelines; hand sanitizer stations; and daily sanitation in
the guest rooms and linens. In addition, PABBI recommends creating
protocols that best fit the needs of each bed-and-breakfast or inn. For
example, owners are encouraged to offer contactless payment options and
self check-in, limit table capacity, and post the commitments on their
website.
