Exnora Hotel Hygiene Award Committee
ExNoRa is for cleanliness. There is no need for emphasizing the need for cleanliness particularly in places like hotels. The health of the people is dependent on the hygiene in hotels where they eat. ExNoRa Innovators’ Club in each town can form a committee who can award grades to hotels taking into account of cleanliness, hygiene and sanitation.
