The Pays de Gex and its Monts Jura Mountain resort the first destination in France to obtain the COVID-FREE label

Gex, May 13^th, 2020 – In order to offer its clients greater serenity during their stay, the French nature and mountain destination on the outskirts of Geneva is in the process of becoming the first to obtain the label.

The basis for enjoying a stay or a day’s holiday: health safety.

When deciding whether or not to visit a destination amidst the uncertainty of the coming months, holidaymakers should first make sure to limit the risks to Covid19 as much as possible. The Pays de Gex Tourist Office is partnering with Covid-Free to offer a safety standard and appropriate cleaning protocols in its establishments. This is the first French initiative on the scale of an entire destination.

“We want to send a strong message to our visitors that we take their safety seriously. We want to show our partners that we understand the catastrophic economic impact of this crisis, and send a message of confidence.” Christophe Bouvier, president of the Pays de Gex Intercommunal Tourist Office and its Monts Jura resort.

COVID-FREE is the first independent label for professionals in the restaurant, hotel and tourism industry committed to the fight against the spread of the virus.

This collective of independent professionals from the tourism industry, accompanied by volunteer doctors and pharmacists, aims to generate trust through extensive field experience and without compromising on health.

“Safety is a top priority. Travellers must be 100% involved. The www.covid-free.fr platform allows them to alert and notify, in real-time senior management in the establishments and officials in the Pays de Gex so that they can take immediate corrective measures”, says Philippe Souterbicq, coordinator of the COVID-FREE collective.

COVID-FREE is a qualitative and engaging approach, involving travelers and guests. The measures implemented, validated by regular audits, will be an essential differentiating factor when choosing a destination.

COVID-FREE has developed the COVID-FREE label and the collaborative platform www.covid- free.fr. It enables tourism professionals to involve customers, employees and suppliers in a collective vigilance approach against the spread of Covid-19.

A special team from the Tourist Office will be established by COVID-FREE to train and accompany the stakeholders who will embark on the process of obtaining the label.

By working together, the destination will be able to offer, starting this summer, a safe and enjoyable stay while taking advantage of the many treasures it has to offer.
