InterContinental Hotels Group has enhanced its Meet with Confidence meeting-safety program, including adding elements from its IHG Way of Clean safety and cleanliness measures that were expanded in May, the company announced.
Additional steps for meetings include configuring event spaces for social distancing and using outdoor spaces where possible, disinfecting tables and chairs before every meeting and during breaks, managing attendee flow with signage and staggered breaks where possible, arranging hand sanitizer stations throughout meeting space, adding technology solutions that support virtual and hybrid meetings, and applying enhanced food-handling and service guidelines.
IHG also has extended its limited-time offer of no cancellation fees, no attrition fees for rooms that are not booked, up to a 5 percent rebate toward the master bill, short-form contracts, and IHG Business Rewards points applicable for standard qualified bookings. The deal applies to bookings of 10 to 50 rooms on peak, with or without meeting space, at participating hotels when booked before Dec. 31, 2020, for meeting or stay dates by June 30, 2021.
