HEALTH & SAFETY

Picture
Our commitment to responsible tourism and traveler safety has been an integral part of Gray Line’s DNA for the last 110 years. As such, we not only understand, but welcome the heightened expectations of our guests when it comes to cleaning, disinfection and other health and safety best practices.

As the world’s leader in sightseeing, we’ll continue to deliver the great service, best-in-class tours and fantastic guides that Gray Line is known for, but with the added confidence of global standards for enhanced hygiene to keep everyone safe while traveling.
How We Are Doing It:

1.    The Board of Directors has adopted new Standard 2.7 into our Governing Documents:

Standard 2.7  [Each Licensee shall:] Maintain operations where the health and safety of all customers and staff is a top priority and comply with all Gray Line published health and safety requirements, as well as all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances in the Licensed Territory.

2.    Providing new Health and Safety Requirements
The new Standard 2.7 requires that all Licensees meet or exceed the standard requirements approved by the board and published by Gray Line Worldwide. If your local jurisdiction requires higher levels, Licensees must meet/exceed those local requirements.

3.    Licensee must provide proof of compliance to the Gray Line Worldwide brand team. The Licensee will then receive the Gray Line certification seal to display in your destination, on your website or through your printed materials.

4. Licensees must link to the Gray Line Worldwide Health and Safety page from their local websites.

Health & Safety Requirements
