We understand that, as someone working within the hospitality trade, you’ll be delighted to open your doors again after so many months of lockdown restrictions.
When that moment comes, we have devised a handy list of FAQs which you can print out to directly address and alleviate any concerns that you and your customers might have around COVID health and safety and your establishment.
This is so that they can relax and enjoy their stay with you, while you can focus on what you do best; making their visit as unforgettable as possible.
We have compiled the FAQs in five different languages. Simply click on the languages relevant to you to download the free FAQs.
And, of course, if you need any further assistance with translations for your business – be it relating specifically to COVID (e.g. COVID policies) or more general translations (such as menus, room information, websites etc.), we are here to help.
