Rest and Be Safe in A Resort Bubble

With the current health situation that we are all experiencing right now, where limited movement is seen, we can all agree that safety and health is the utmost priority. But with all the things happening right now, we also somehow need to unwind, relax, and keep our minds off the gruelling situation. While there is still a risk of contracting the virus, taking a vacation to get away from it all can still be possible despite the circumstances, and you can find one in a resort bubble.

Resort bubbles are typically much the same as the resorts that you usually go to—same destination, accommodation, and amenities. The main difference is that there are a higher-level health and safety approach to ensure that you are safe while you are inside the resort and enjoying your getaway without any worries. Here are some of the key differences of resort bubbles compared to the typical resorts that you are used to:

  1. Continuous cleaning and disinfecting protocols ensure guests are avoiding the compromise of their health while they are in the resort. The resort bubble management has included additional cleaning along with disinfecting on common areas and of course the rooms and accommodations.
  2. Touchless entry and access make sure that key areas within the room or amenities are not touched frequently. Some of these resort bubbles changed their entry and access systems into touchless mechanisms. Hands-free access mechanisms such as QR Codes and RFIDs are installed at these resort bubbles to ensure you don’t need to touch doorknobs or doors to gain access to their rooms and amenities.
  3. Restricted and controlled movement keeps everyone safe. While enjoying your vacation, you will be limited to the resort and cannot move in or out of it during the course of your stay. The same applies to the personnel on duty as well. In the event of the need to move in or out, contact tracing protocols will be strictly implemented.

It is true that health is always the priority in this current situation, but even so, you won’t need to worry about taking a vacation in a resort bubble.

Safety and Comfort in A Resort Bubble

As we’re moving along through the current health situation, our urge to wind down and relax is stronger than ever. With all the pressure and stress coming from the different aspects of our lives, especially now; a well-deserved getaway is definitely at the order of the day. But, as we are all on a serious COVID alert with the risk of contracting it increasing significantly when going out, we cannot help but wonder how safe it will really be to go on a vacation.

News has been circulating that famous resorts are establishing resort bubbles as an additional precautionary measure to ensure their visitors and guests will enjoy their stay without the worry of being exposed to any health risks. Let’s find how safe they really are.

Resort bubbles have placed additional safety protocols to ensure health for their guests. Some of them are the following:

  1. Because it is notable that contracting the virus is mainly due to physical transmission, touching surfaces that were previously contaminated by an infected person is one way to contract the virus. In order to minimize this risk, resort bubbles have started to scale down physical touching of amenities within the resort, like doorknobs, for example. To prevent physical contact, guests are provided keyless entry mechanisms so that they can access their reserved rooms and open and close the doors with the use of wireless or keyless mechanisms such as RFID and QR code access.
  2. The cleaning procedure has also been upgraded. Aside from the usual cleaning protocols, these resorts have put in additional frequency on cleaning and extra disinfecting procedures within their premises. Especially to those high touch areas within the resort. The extra attention to cleaning combined with regular disinfecting procedures will give visitors peace of mind so that they can enjoy the amenities and their well-deserved break without worry.
  3. Another extra precaution is restricted movements. All personnel, including visitors, will be allowed limited movement in going in and out of the resort during their stay. This is to ensure unwanted transmission is minimized and contact tracing procedures will be more accurate and efficient.

While these additional protocols are an added effort for these resort bubbles, it is a simple gesture from them to provide a better service and safer environment for clients and visitors.

How Safe Are You in A Resort Bubble?

Recent news in Hawaii has reported that resorts and other vacation spots are adapting a “resort bubble,” which constitutes additional safety protocols for visitors and tourists to ensure them that any risks on their health will be as low as possible. But, with the foregoing health concerns and the manner of the transmission of the virus, how safe are we really in a resort bubble? Let’s look at some of these safety protocols to see if the risks are low enough:

  1. Strict Safety and Tracing Measures: Prior to admission, visitors will be subjected to information gathering (travel history etc.) for contract tracing purposes. They will also undergo testing, health screening, and temperature checks prior to arrival. Only once visitors have passed all these screening activities will they be admitted to the resort bubble.
  2. Minimizing Physical Contact: One of the higher possibilities of transmission is through touching an item that was previously in physical contact by an infected person. Resort bubbles have devised a plan to minimize this problem, specifically for high-touch areas such as doorknobs on rooms. Resort owners have adapted to no-touch mechanisms through wireless means such as the use of RFID straps for keyless entry mechanisms on the rooms. Some also use other keyless (and touchless) variants such as QR codes in which visitors scan it straight from their smartphones in order to gain access to their rooms.
  3. Level-Up Cleaning: Apart from the usual cleaning and maintenance of the premises and the rooms, resort bubbles have increased their cleaning protocols to ensure total hygiene. There will be frequent disinfecting on surrounding areas, specifically for high touch areas. Some even have UV disinfecting devices that will help kill viruses and germs on all surfaces.
  4. Restricted Movement: While in the resort bubble, visitors’ movement will be restricted within the premises and will not be permitted to go out when their intended length of stay has lapsed unless they pass a screening again.

There are quite a number of health and safety protocols that you will experience when you opt to stay in a resort bubble. It may seem restrictive, but it will definitely benefit you in fully enjoying your stay and your personal time off without even thinking about compromising your health.
