Covid Protection Protocol 2021

Zero Cases in 2020

Last year Forte Village was the first resort in the world to implement a Covid Protection Protocol with unique instant testing on arrival which allowed guests to put aside all the stress and strains and enjoy their holiday in complete freedom.

A detailed protocol, validated by a medical-scientific committee from Italy’s leading Universities which made it possible to record zero cases throughout the whole summer season and was met with praise from clients and agents alike, creating a worldwide best practice.

COVID P R OT EC T I ON P R OTOCOL

Using the most advanced medical protocols applicable for Covid 19 (TAntigen I test + possible RT-PCR-based molecular test) the aim is to create a sterile and free environment minimizing the threat of contagion (both for guests and staff) and allow guests to enjoy their holiday without excessive limitations which would disturb its spirit and enjoyment.

Guests will therefore be able to freely experience nature and the innumerable activities and services of the resort which are largely accessible in the open air with an evident positive reduction of risk of circulation of pathogens. The project could become a best practice for all Italian resorts with similar characteristics in terms of morphology and accessibility
