When January came around and the CDC updated the restrictions for international travel, the hospitality industry got an influx of much-needed business. Just 5 days into 2021, Travel Weekly reported that offering in-room Covid-19 tests as an amenity was on the rise.

Like a lot of other businesses, hotels needed to adopt Covid protocols to keep running in the pandemic. But the hospitality industry was hit especially hard, and it took longer to adapt without enough customers to serve.

Covid Test Kits Vs. On-site Testing?

What are the benefits of offering testing options to hotel guests?

It’s been estimated that an additional three million people would travel internationally this year, so making your hotel the go-to place for covid testing is a smart strategy to better serve your guests.

The CDC has made the process of offering on-site testing (at no cost) easier than ever before by releasing information on how hotels can get Covid Kits.

So that leaves Hotels with 2 options: offer guests testing kits or offer guests on-site testing. Each has its pros & cons.

Covid Test Kits for Hotels

Let’s start with kits. Why might a hotel like Covid Testing Kits?

Covid-19 test kits are reviewed by the CDC as an “inconvenient but effective” monitoring system for travelers from affected areas. In fact, nearly half of all hotels and resorts worldwide now offer Covid tests to their guests, and the number is rising.

Large hotels in hot tourist regions, like Asia and the Caribbean, have been using these kits for years. The kits are widely available from medical supply firms worldwide.

Hotels might prefer to offer Covid testing kits over PCR testing on-site at the hotel. Not only can they transport/stock these kits more easily, but guests can administer their own tests with them—so no one else needs to be involved other than the testee and their kit. 

So it seems kits have convenience on their side.

Now, why would offering on-site testing be preferable to testing kits?

On-Site Testing for Hotels

While COVID testing kits may be the most convenient option for hotel owners—they’re not the most convenient for guests!

What’s most convenient for guests?

On-site testing. Why? It gives that added layer of accessibility, reassurance and efficiency to an already streamlined process.

Keep in mind that hotel guests will often need PCR tests, since these “gold standard” Covid-19 results are approved for international travel.

On-site testing also has the key benefit of providing quicker, more reliable results to your guests. For travelers in a hurry, time is everything.

Conversely, if your guests were to test themselves with PCR kits (which go to a lab for testing), they have no way of knowing whether it came back positive or negative in real time. These kits can take up to 3 days to provide results—or more if shipping gets delayed.

If you serve international guests, whether tourists or business travelers, this might be too long to wait… they could have a flight to catch!

With on-site tests, though, the added convenience and speed truly provides guests with additional value.

For instance, you can offer more than one PCR test, clearly mark which results are approved for travel—and even ensure your guests have a rapid option (like alliance.health’s 30-Minute Rapid Results PCR Covid-19 Test)!

How Can Hotels Offer On-Site Testing?

Setting up on-site testing can seem daunting, especially without having the connections needed to find the right resources.

In many cases, it’s quite difficult for hotels to accomplish on their own. This may be too large of an investment or simply too inconvenient when considering the various factors involved.
