Complementing DOT’s Safety Seal, Radisson Blu Cebu, Park Inn by Radisson Davao, and Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo have likewise been conferred the world’s first-ever global safety and hygiene seal, the Safe Travel Stamp, issued by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) in recognition of the hotels’ compliance with WTTC’s safe travel protocols.

With its stringent protocols under the ‘SustainablySafe’ Program, SMHCC leaves no stone unturned and follows intensive sets of policies, while applying efficient and methodical procedures.

Strengthened by our very own ‘SustainablySafe’ Program, we have ably primed our properties for the new normal and gained our guests’ confidence, making their safety our topmost priority,” said Ms. Peggy E. Angeles, SMHCC Executive Vice President.
