The island Institution launched it last June through an agreement with Chekin to reduce times and implement security measures against Covid-19
The Tourism Department of the Cabildo calls for all accommodation on the island to join this initiative, which does not generate additional costs.
The Cabildo of La Gomera took stock this Tuesday of the service provided by the app intended for the registration of travelers arriving at accommodation on the island, and which has been operational since last June within the framework of the actions carried out to increase security in these spaces against Covid-19.
The Minister of Tourism, María Isabel Méndez, explained that there are more than 300 active accommodation accounts in which 600 registrations have been made, figures that "encourage us to continue working in this line, increasing cooperation between the insular Institution and companies in the sector, providing them with tools to reinforce the security of both guests and workers."
The use of the app allows the tourist to check-in prior to arrival at the accommodation, verifying their identity digitally, or reducing the time if it is done in person at the accommodation during arrival. This process reduces human contact, as established by health security measures and, on the other hand, eliminates the need for paper and also speeds up reception time very considerably.
The application is free to use for all accommodations, and it includes guest data, so that a simple, fast and secure base is available to provide the mandatory aspects to the competent authorities regarding the arrival of each tourist. In this way, the sending of this data is carried out automatically, electronically and with greater security guarantees, generating the corresponding traveler reports.
How to register
Tourist accommodation must complete the online registration form in this email support@chekin.io. In this way, and following the steps established on the platform, they will have their profile as managers.
