In addition to having these new accreditations, all oxoHotel properties already had the oxoHotel “Safe Stay” seal, under which the establishments offer totally reliable and biosecure services, spaces and experiences.
The new certifications issued by MinComercio and WTTC were achieved thanks to an intense joint work to offer conditions for the implementation and application of the biosafety protocols issued by the National Government and by other local, regional and world authorities.

"In addition, we are generating confidence in travelers, making them understand that our hotels comply with completeness with the most rigorous biosafety protocols in the world ”.
The “Check in Certified, Covid-19 bioseguro” seal is a certification created by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, with the support of ProColombia and Icontec, and backed by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), whose main objectives to generate trust among travelers and consumers, minimize the risks of contagion of the virus and encourage tourism in the country.
For its part, the “Safe Travels” certification was developed by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) to help restore confidence in travelers and work to reactivate the travel and tourism sector globally.
