Following the CDC’s announcement it will require incoming international travelers to present a negative COVID-19 test upon entry to the U.S., hotels and resorts have been working to accommodate the new requirements.
To create a stress-free experience, some hotels are bringing the testing directly to the guest so they can maximize their time on property without worrying about the logistics. As many properties struggle amid the pandemic, providing easy and convenient on-site testing will not deter travelers from visiting. Some brands have gone so far as to offer a free 14-day stay if a guest tests positive and can no longer return home.
