Los Angeles has launched a new initiative for its large hotels to become Sharecare VERIFIED™, making it on track to be the first destination in the US to have the stamp of approval.

The Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board has announced an initiative, powered by digital health company Sharecare and Forbes Travel Guide, to verify the health security of all hotels with 50 or more rooms in the City of Los Angeles.

By making health security verification a universal standard across this category of hotels, Los Angeles is set to become the first Sharecare VERIFIED™ destination in the U.S.

Developed by Sharecare and Forbes Travel Guide, Sharecare VERIFIED™ is a comprehensive verification process and designation that assures guests and travel planners that Los Angeles hotels with this distinction have appropriate safety procedures in place.

According to the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board, all L.A.-area hotels must comply with public health guidelines, however specific protocols and programs vary across hotel brands and product categories. VERIFIED™ hotels are making the additional commitment to promoting transparency and creating confidence for guests, travel planners and team members by achieving and maintaining this designation.

By becoming Sharecare VERIFIED™, each property is also ensuring that its protocols will continue to comply with evolving, expert-validated standards.

The verification process for each hotel covers more than 360 standards across health and hygiene protocols, cleaning products and procedures, ventilation, physical distancing, the guest experience, and health safety communication with guests and employees.

Hotels also are required to verify their health protocols on an ongoing basis to ensure continued compliance with the most up-to-date health standards.
