Hotel chain will allow only fully vaccinated guests

Millennium and Copthorne Hotels New Zealand will require guests and visitors to be vaccinated when the new traffic light system comes into place on Friday. The company operates the Millennium, Grand Millennium, M Social, Copthorne and Kingsgate hotels. It told the sharemarket yesterday that the rule would apply to people entering its hotels, restaurants, bars or meeting venues. An exemption will be in place for children under the age of 12 who are not eligible for the vaccine. The company will monitor people’s vaccination status through the Covid vaccine pass. Managing director

B K Chiu said the company wanted to give visitors and employees certainty about its vaccination policy. ‘‘We have looked at the Covid Protection Framework carefully and we believe that this is the right decision at the right time to keep our guests safe but also to keep our employees safe,’’ he said. –
