TRAVEL UPDATE!
Hotel Benco Management statement on COVID-19
WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU!
With the lockdowns being lifted and the world gradually opening for travel, we are glad that we have used the last few months to design and put into effect strict hygiene protocol and enhanced workplace practices that allow a joyful tourism experience with safe distancing at every step of the journey.
As the wellbeing of our guests and associates is of utmost importance to us, we continue to closely monitor the advices of the World Health Organization as well as all local authorities regarding the COVID 19 cases and its impact.
Being passionate travellers ourselves, we understand the stress resulting from the uncertainty about booking, and are keen on providing our customers with maximum flexibility during these call edging times.
Together we can – Safety is our priority
At Hotel Benco we take hygiene and cleaning standards very seriously and thus, have rigorous hygiene and cleaning protocols in place. We closely monitor the guidelines of both, the World Health Organization and local governments to ensure all our Hotels apply best practices, allowing uninterrupted holiday experiences for our customers and a safe work environment for our associates.
On top, being a part of a centrally managed community, we are working closely with the different outlets in our towns to re-instate safety measures.
We would like to thank you for your confidence and loyalty and look forward to welcoming you back at our hotel soon.
