Already, the regional travel authority has joined hundreds of leading organizations globally by enrolling its office in the WELL Health-Safety Rating. Los Cabos Tourism Board has also demonstrated its alignment with IWBI by joining the IWBI membership program as a Cornerstone Member and will work to lead the local travel industry by example to prioritize people's health, safety and well-being in Los Cabos. 

“The strict implementation of health and safety protocols have been critical to Los Cabos' strong and speedy travel recovery in 2021 and we are committed to continue providing safe travel environment to all our visitors. Our partnership with the IWBI will further cement Los Cabos' approach to safety and we look forward to working alongside our travel partners, hotels, and lodging facilities across the destination to achieve, and proudly display the WELL Health-Safety Rating seal,” said Rodrigo Esponda, Managing Director of Los Cabos Tourism Board. 

The WELL Health-Safety Rating was launched in June 2020 with input from the 600-member IWBI Task Force on COVID-19. Drawing on a subset of features from the WELL Building Standard (WELL), the rating is an evidence-based, third-party verified program for all new and existing buildings and space types. It is focused on operational policies, maintenance protocols, emergency plans and stakeholder engagement strategies to help organizations prioritize the health and safety of their staff, customers, visitors and stakeholders.

The strategies within the WELL Health-Safety Rating have been informed by guidance on the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), global disease control and prevention centers and emergency management agencies, as well as recognized standard-making bodies such as ASTM International and ASHRAE, and leading academic and research institutions.
