The charter is a Government-endorsed initiative to reinforce confidence in domestic and overseas visitors in tourism businesses. The COVID-19 Safety Charter is designed to give comfort and reassurance to employers, employees and customers that your business has re-opened safely.

 

 

Fáilte Ireland has issued sector-specific guidelines for tourism and hospitality businesses to guide them in how best to meet the Government's public health advice; by signing up to this Charter, the Villa Rose and all our employees have agreed to follow the recommended guidelines for our sector.
