With COVID cases continually on the rise, the health and safety of your guests is now more important than ever. The overarching issue of health and safety can impact many other aspects of your rental’s success, particularly profitability. Ensuring that your rental is well-prepared for any health and safety concerns not only protects your guests but also positions your property to thrive in a competitive market.
Invest in comprehensive cleaning protocols and ensure that all high-touch surfaces are regularly sanitized. Implement measures such as contactless check-in and check-out to minimize physical interactions. Provide clear and visible health and safety guidelines within your property to reassure guests of your commitment to their well-being.
Additionally, stay informed about local health regulations and adapt your practices accordingly. Offering amenities such as air purifiers or hygiene kits can further enhance guest confidence and comfort.
By prioritizing health and safety, you not only safeguard your guests but also build a reputation for reliability and care. This proactive approach can lead to positive reviews, repeat bookings, and ultimately, increased profitability as travelers seek out properties that offer peace of mind in uncertain times.
Implementing Smart Technology
One aspect that you as a property manager or owner may not have considered is leveraging technology and automation to enhance overall health and safety. Modern Property Management Systems (PMS) can significantly streamline and improve your cleaning protocols. For instance, a PMS can automate the scheduling of service cleanings after each guest’s stay. While this may seem like an added cost, the potential loss of revenue due to concerns about cleanliness could far outweigh the expense. By ensuring that your property is consistently cleaned and sanitized, you can provide peace of mind to your guests, which is crucial in today’s market.
Automating this process through a PMS can alleviate the stress and complexity of managing these cleanings manually. It ensures that each cleaning is scheduled efficiently and according to the highest standards, reducing the risk of oversight. This approach not only maintains high cleanliness standards but also demonstrates your commitment to guest safety, which can enhance your property’s reputation and attract more bookings.
Additionally, even if you are confident in the cleanliness of your property, some guests may have heightened concerns about hygiene. Addressing these concerns proactively by implementing regular service cleanings can help avoid potential dissatisfaction and lost revenue. By using a PMS to manage these tasks, you reduce the risk of missing crucial touchpoints that could contribute to the spread of COVID-19 or other concerns, ensuring a safer and more reliable environment for your guests.
Incorporating technology and automation into your health and safety practices not only protects your guests but also positions your property as a leader in cleanliness and safety, ultimately contributing to greater guest satisfaction and profitability.
As well, implementing smart technology like lights, and door locks, among other things can ensure that your guests will minimize the amount of exposure that potential guests will spend physically touching these areas. This will not only reduce the probability of exposure but also give future guests peace of mind that your rental is very much touchy-oriented. This un-orientation of common touch points is becoming more common in certain areas, with the introduction of motion-activated doors.
Lastly, speak with the people renting your vacation home, and see if they would feel more comfortable with smart devices being implemented. Opening a dialogue is always a great way to create conversation and show that you as a host care about the health and well-being of your guests.
