MANILA -- Hotel establishments have been "very excited" after the Department of Tourism allowed staycations in areas under general community quarantine .

"Around mga 10 hotels have applied already. In fact, as of October 1, we have [already released] 4 certificates of authority for staycation," Maquiling said."Kasi under GCQ, bawal pa ang leisure, bawal pa ang tourism. So the DOT asked the IATF kung pwede itong staycation even under GCQ. We are so happy that they agreed. This is like a boost to our domestic tourism also. At least makakapag-start pakonti-konti," Puyat said.

"Biglang nagsarado rin yung maraming industries. Actually, sa Okada, marami ring outlets yung nagsarado. We are happy, ngayon, nagbubukas na ulit," he said. He said he was also sure that their business partners and employees would be “very happy” to return to work. Inside the room, care kits are available for each guest. Guests may access a mobile application, which they could use for contactless room service and other concerns.

It is operating on a 30 percent capacity, ensuring that there is no face-to-face seating among guests. "Makati Shangri-La is no different. We're obviously not seeing any international guests at the moment. We can only focus on essential businesses, such as BPOs and essential services... So, for us, having staycations is gonna be a good boost to our hotel. And we can focus on the domestic market quite easily.

Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo–Puyat said the agency will monitor establishments to ensure compliance to health and safety protocols. Fines and penalties would be imposed on violators.Guests of all ages have already been allowed to go on staycations, except those who are pregnant or those with comorbidity.
