“A slight recovery for live events”
Owner and General Manager Antonella Ferro says that dealing with the fallout from the pandemic has forced many changes in the industry. “After last year's drop in tourist demand – down 74.1% in the city of Rome and 71.8% in the Latium region with an estimated drop in foreign arrivals of 88% - we are now seeing a slight recovery of domestic corporate technology and medical live events. For the recovery of international tourism, much will depend on the outcome of the measures taken around the world to guarantee safe travel.”
“We are moving from words to deeds”
“Thanks to the use of digital payments and contactless check-in/check-out and room entry, we can guarantee better health and hygiene safety - said Ferro - these are just some of the innovations we have introduced to communicate to our customers that we are ready to start again by their side, to reassure them we are moving from words to deeds.”
Engaging with the local community
“We also had time to look at the specific needs of our surrounding area, Marriott Courtyard Rome Central Park looks out on a huge green lung of parkland and woods, and how to promote the value of outdoor sports. Like encouraging our guests to take lessons in Nordic walking in the park in front of our hotel. We just hosted a charity football tournament with twelve teams of sports medicine doctors, and at Christmas we will provide meals for the poor and homeless through the Community of Sant’Egidio.”
Smart working and a 4K LED display
One of the Marriott Courtyard Rome Central Park’s meeting rooms has been transformed into a digital studio for live streaming events with the installation of a state-of-the-art 15-square-metre LED display, a seamless multimedia surface with 4K definition. “Smart working is another evolution of our modus vivendi. We are offering members of the Marriott Bonvoy Travel programme a day pass consisting of a room from 6 am to 6 pm with a wide range of services and the technological support of our dedicated team.”
“Safety and health measures are a top priority”
Antonella Ferro believes that companies investing in new technologies will be able to overcome the crisis, and that safety and health measures are no longer an optional. “Already they are a top priority. Our hotel has the Sanix Air purification system guaranteeing a 99% reduction of bacteria and viruses. Travelers are ready to make conscious choices, and one in two tourists will reward brands that adopt policies of social and environmental responsibility.”
