SOFITEL BAHRAIN ZALLAQ THALASSA SEA & SPA BECOMES THE FIRST HOTEL IN BAHRAIN TO ACHIEVE #ALLSAFE AND BUREAU VERITAS CERTIFICATIONS

ALL SAFE program is developed alongside hygiene solutions specialist Bureau Veritas

As the world starts to open its doors again, Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea & Spa stands well prepared to safely welcome its guests by implementing the ALL Safe Program, which was developed alongside hygiene solutions specialist Bureau Veritas, a world leader in testing, inspections and certification, that covers all touch points when it comes to providing hotel guests and team members with a safe and enjoyable experience. Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea & Spa has successfully completed all requirements under this innovative program resulting in it being officially certified, reassuring guests it has implemented the highest cleanliness and safety standards. The latest of these safety measures includes the introduction of the ‘ALL Safe Officer’ program. This unique initiative introduces a new role within the hotel, focusing on appointing one officer responsible for ensuring the implementation of all sanitary procedures and addressing any inquiries from hotel guests.

“The safety and wellbeing of our guests and team members has always been, and remains, our priority. Receiving the ALL Safe certification while we have also been implementing local regulations is a statement to the efforts our teams are making every day to achieve this.” says Mr. Mehdi Hanayen, General Manager at Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea & Spa.
