Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Grapevine businesses are committing to clean. Businesses across the area will begin to pursue accreditation through the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR accreditation program, according to a press release from the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Through this accreditation program, businesses will begin to implement “the industry’s highest standards for cleaning, disinfection and infectious disease prevention,” according to the press release.
Twenty-seven tourism-related businesses approved by the Grapevine City Council will participate in the program — businesses that include hotels, city operated meeting facilities and specific attractions.
“We are thrilled to champion this opportunity and become the only destination to seek accreditation for all hotels, city operated meeting facilities and specific attractions within Grapevine’s geo-political boundaries,” says Paul W. McCallum, Executive Director of the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau. “There are a variety of events that we are excited to promote this fall and winter and believe that this accreditation will help our residents and visitors feel more comfortable and safe while enjoying these classic events with friends and family members.”
