Doing business in a COVID world is more complex than ever.
Trade with confidence with COVID Ready badged operators.
If your business has developed a COVID plan (ATEC, State or other) that aligns with the Australian Federal Government, National COVID Compliance Commission (NCCC) COVIDSafe guidelines and the World Travel & Tourism Council's 'Safe Travels' Protocols then you are invited to upload your plan as part of completing the Tourism Trade Checklist to receive trade recognition badges, the global 'safe travels' consumer stamp and be listed on the Trade Directory of COVID Ready businesses.
Your COVID Ready operational plan must meet the NCCC COVIDSafe guidelines and incorporate the following measures:
- Managing staff and customer wellbeing
- Maintaining physical distancing and customer limits
- Enhancing hygiene and cleaning
- Keeping records that facilitate contact tracing
Your plan must also meet the sector-specific 'Safe Travels' protocols developed by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC).
Does your plan meet the domestic and global standards? then get the recognition your business deserves today.
