Hygieneprotocol

Dining: Waitstaff will wear face coverings and gloves. Seating will be adjusted to accommodate physical distancing (6ft, roughly 2m). Self-serve buffets will be eliminated. Common use menus will no longer be used unless sanitized. Hotels: Our hotel partners all have world-class health and safety protocols. However, these guidelines may vary depending on local situations and regulations. Here are some typical examples: Upon-arrival, health questionnaires, and temperature checks may be required. Some hotels may even require daily temperature scans. Physical distancing (6ft, roughly 2m) may be required in public areas, bars, and restaurants. High-touch areas such as railings, door handles, and elevators will undergo enhanced cleaning. In-room measures may include the removal of tent cards and magazines. Common use items, such as coffee makers and minibar amenities may be on-demand. High-touch areas, such as light switches, thermostats, remote controls, and door handles will be subject to enhanced and frequent cleaning. Guests will have the option to determine housekeeping frequency. All hotel staff will undergo daily health screenings. On-Tour Transportation: Keeping on-tour transportation safe is a major focus of our team who has worked with hundreds of partners to ensure continuity in health and safety protocols: On motorcoaches and other on-tour ground transportation, such as airport transfers, the guest should expect physical distancing (6ft, roughly 2m) and will be required to wear face coverings if unable to maintain physical distance. Prior to each trip, our motorcoaches (we have secured a vehicle larger than group size to add spacing between guests), vans, airport transfer vehicles, and on-tour aircraft will undergo a deep sanitizing process. Luggage may also be sanitized at each movement. Drivers will wear gloves and face coverings during all guest-facing interactions. Drivers will frequently clean handrails, door handles, armrests, tables, seats, air conditioning/HVAC units, restrooms, and overhead storage areas. Sightseeing & Local Activities: Many of our experiences are exclusive and/or private and thatโ€™s important in taking care of you. Whether it be a guided tour, a visit to an iconic museum or private home, a musical performance, or any other special Knutson Travels activities, we are applying the same rigor to health and safety protocols: Knutson Travels listening devices will be sanitized thoroughly and frequently. Sightseeing is being adjusted to ensure proper physical distancing (6ft, roughly 2m). Admission times at venues may be altered to ensure no crowding. Paper tickets, handouts and the like may be eliminated.
