#LaoSafe, a health and hygiene programme for the tourism and hospitality sector, has just received official approval from the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Ministry of Information, Culture, and Tourism (MICT).
#LaoSafe comprises a series of health and hygiene standards for different subsectors of the tourism and hospitality industry, including for accommodation providers, food and beverage outlets, airlines, tourist attractions, tour guides and drivers.
The #LaoSafe programme is currently being piloted in Vientiane Capital, with trainers and assessors undergoing their initial training. Subject to Covid-19 restrictions being eased, it is expected Food and Beverage businesses will be able to undergo training and assessment from November 2021, with accommodation providers from January 2022. Expansion to other key tourism destinations can be expected early in 2022 following the official launch of the #LaoSafe Programme in January.
During the pilot phase, training and assessment is being provided free of charge to businesses with the costs supported by the Skills for Tourism Project (LAO/029).
