At Zurfers we bet on the soon arrival of the tourist normality, in different countries, always maintaining, implementing, and respecting the safety and hygiene protocols that have been developed in all areas worldwide. Without a doubt, the only way out of this tragedy is to take care of the most important resource... Ourselves. Yes, we who as tourists constitute the most valuable treasure of our own well-deserved vacation.

IATA developed a tool to know which countries you can travel to:

This tool will surely be invaluable to anyone wishing to travel internationally in the foreseeable future since resorts affected by the Covid-19 continue to alter the global panorama of trips almost daily.
Each country on the map is color-coded to provide an easy visual reference to understand the relative stringency of its current travel regulations. Information includes current restrictions, including air travel status, quarantine policies, eligibility parameters, exemptions, and applicable documentation requirements.

■ Totally Restrictive.■ Partially Restrictive.■ Not Restrictive.■ Latest updates currently under review.

Resorts join the effort.

On the other hand, resorts are applying the best guidelines and taking on the latest and safest standards in the application of hygiene safety norms for the reopening of their facilities as their own to prevent transmission, all endorsed by Safe Travels of the WTTC.

Safe Travels is a protocol created by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) which establishes rules that companies, cities, and countries must follow to make travel safer for all travelers.
Additionally, resort owners are using social media, text messages, and email to keep timeshare owners and potential travelers who will be resort guests engaged and informed.

Zurfers at the forefront.

Likewise, Zurfers is constantly updating its website by sharing its prevention plans, contact information, and frequently asked questions about COVID-19. Users can be informed by following our posts on social media and the blogs on our website which show our community how resorts are preparing to reopen their doors to travelers already booking their vacations. Our blogs also highlight the gratitude resorts are sharing as they give back to their communities by offering rooms to health workers and donating meals to needy families.

Also at Zurfers we are sharing the calculated measures that resorts are taking to reopen their doors supporting the enactment of a flexible cancellation policy. We took notice when the airline industry saw a large increase in leisure traveler flight bookings by implementing a change in its cancellation policies.

To assist the many timeshare owners who have canceled reservations or will be unable to make their reservations during designated usage periods or while resorts were closed. At Zurfers we are reviewing usage plans, reservation procedures, and cancellation policies in order to guide them to determine which accommodation, in each case, is suitable for each owner.

Thanks to our flexible and friendly online platform where families can book weekly vacations, in timeshares, traveling this summer with us is the safest, cleanest and most affordable solution possible.

What are airlines doing?

Airlines around the world announced various measures to prevent infections amid the historic stop that the sector is going through and the uncertainty regarding the "new" normality.

They are applying hygiene protocol, additionally, they are separating the seats in order to establish a social distance between passengers. They also report that they are complying with the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding public areas: they disinfect several times a day all check-in desks, boarding gate seats, frequently touched areas, and provide hand sanitizers in all ticketing and boarding areas.

Many of them also require passengers to wear a face mask from the moment they arrive at the registration desk until the moment they leave the plane. 

Some of the new measures they have taken inside the plane include:

• Cleaning the area of where you are going to sit. Everything you touch.
• All aircrafts of the country's major airlines "are equipped with high-efficiency HEPA air filters for particles, which purify the air".
• They have an in-house team of professionals, who constantly evaluate the products the industry is using.
• They have added a vaporization process to disinfect flights using a high-potency disinfectant and virucide registered in the EPA that is highly effective against many contagious diseases, including coronaviruses.
• Deep cleaning and air filtration systems on aircraft to prevent the spread of the virus. They ensure that the most important thing is air quality and air quality onboard the aircraft so that people are safe.

Airlines try to respond to their customers' concerns about upcoming trips by temporarily suspending penalties for changes or cancellations. They are also working hard to promote new reservations by authorizing free changes and cancellations for future trips, as well as offering great discounts.

At Zurfers we invite you to plan everything related to your trips, especially taking into account that the exchange of properties is the best option.
