For consistently achieving exceptional levels and implementing high standards in health and safety across international boundaries, Mövenpick Hotel Al Khobar was recognized as the regional winner of the 2015 Cristal Awards. Placing hygiene at the top of its business agenda, the upscale hotel adopted and continuously makes use of E-Cristal, an electronic risk management system that not only gathers and records hygiene data, but also alerts users to points of weakness. The system consists of Foodcheck, Roomcheck, Firecheck, Safetycheck and Aquacheck, all developed in accordance with the World Health Organisation's guidelines.
Afsal Manikyam, hygiene officer of Mövenpick Hotel Al Khobar, said “working with health and safety experts, Check Safety First, and our application of its E-Cristal auditing system has helped us meet the standards of hygiene as part of our business strategy. Every month, we administer monitoring and audit to ensure that health and safety practices are maintained across our operations.”
Consistently achieving excellent audit scores, the hotel not only received numerous certifications from Cristal International Standards, but also topped other hotels in the Middle East to win the prestigious accolade as the region's safest hotel. Cristal International Standards is the global leader in systems and services for brand quality, standards management and related risk management.
“We are truly honoured to be recognised as the regional winner of the 2015 Cristal Awards,” said Markus Marti, general manager. “Mövenpick Hotel Al Khobar's main commitment is to offer our guests a safe and healthy environment to stay in, and this achievement affirms that only the highest standards of quality service will be delivered to our guests.” — SG
