Now he calls on the German authorities to reconsider this step and refers to preventive measures in accommodation establishments. With the “Safe Stay Seal of Approval”, uniform prevention processes were in place to protect guests and employees to the best of their ability. “Hotel companies are aware of their responsibility to guests and staff,” says Schmid.

The group of specialists in the hotel industry of the Vienna Economic Chamber has developed its own security seal for its member companies. With specific measures in six areas, the level of health and safety in Vienna accommodation establishments is raised to a new level.

Starting with fever measurements for employees when they start work, their own COVID-19 officer, additional cleaning and disinfection measures, digitizing notices and menu cards and other measures, will increase the protection of guests and employees against infections

The measurements are visible to the outside with the security seal “Safe Stay” that accommodation providers can place in the entrance area. The Vienna Chamber of Commerce and Vienna Tourism jointly verify compliance with the security seal requirements; information is available at www.safestayvienna.at

Meanwhile, the life union calls on Finance Minister Gernot Blümel (ÖVP) to really stand up for Vienna, as he had announced during the Vienna election campaign. The president of the transport and life services union, Roman Hebenstreit, demands more help from Blümel for the economy of Vienna and its employees.

Until the close of Corona, Vienna was the number one city for congresses because tourism companies and their workforce, also on behalf of many other industries, such as mobility companies, performed excellently, Hebenstreit continued. “Now, in Vienna and in many other cities in the country, many companies and people are in ruins and have to fear for their livelihoods, like the 140 employees who are laid off at the Sacher hotels.”

Blümel shouldn’t let these people down.
