visitors to start their comeback, health and safety remains paramount.

“Los Angeles has been incredibly deliberate and thoughtful in its reopening, and we are grateful for our ongoing partnership with state and local health department officials in developing appropriate protocols to ensure that we can safely and responsibly reopen our local visitor industry. Our strategic partnership with Sharecare allows visitors, planners and hospitality employees alike to feel confident in our hotel community’s commitment to their health and safety,” stated Adam Burke, President & CEO for Los Angeles Tourism.

“The pandemic has made it clear that hotels and resorts must, first and foremost, assure guests of their safety,” said Filip Boyen, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. "By becoming VERIFIED, hotels with 50 or more rooms in the City of L.A. are demonstrating their commitment to creating a culture of accountability and following global best practices to heighten health security, verified by a third party.”

This verification comes with an easily identifiable “seal of approval” – the Sharecare VERIFIED with Forbes Travel Guide badge – that qualifying hotels can use on their websites and other communications to let guests know that they’ve completed the verification process, which hotels with 50 or more rooms in the City of Los Angeles are expected to complete by April 30, 2021.
