HEALTH & CLEANLINESS IS OUR TOP PRIORITY

This is my content.

The Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive is following guidelines and cleanliness information provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as The State of Florida and Orange County Health Services, detailing how to identify COVID-19 symptoms and mitigate its transmission.

We have implemented our ‘Count on Us ’initiative and partnered with Ecolab and other suppliers, to provide our hotel with access to the highest industry-standard cleaning and disinfecting supplies and will be training all of our team members in achieving the highest standards of cleanliness, disinfection, and hygiene.

As a member of the American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA), we are participating in the Safe Stay program focused on enhanced hotel cleaning practices, social interactions, and workplace protocols that meet health and safety challenges presented by COVID-19.

We created this guideline to assist with understanding the steps being taken to address COVID-19 and what to expect during your stay. We are in constant communication with state and local officials to ensure we have the most up-to-date directives. Due to this, our operational changes and cleanliness measures may change from time to time as circumstances evolve.
