Case Study
Bringing it home for travellers during the pandemic
Sometimes a job isn’t just a job.
When FCM was asked to support the hotel quarantine program in NSW at the start of COVID-19, the team probably didn’t realise what lay ahead. Nor could they predict the scale of the project. Or the logistical complexities.
But FCM, being the travel company that will always find a way no matter what the circumstances, became a key partner behind Australia’s most successful hotel quarantine program. During the two-year program, FCM together with multiple NSW Government stakeholders and over 20 hotels accommodated approximately 260,000 guests.
From the initial expression of interest (EOI) proposal to invite hotels to participate, to the scaling back of the operation in early 2022, the program was as remarkable as it was critical. Those involved were operating in uncharted territory. There was no blueprint for this kind of job.
Despite this, the NSW hotel quarantine program turned out to be a ‘key pillar in protecting NSW from the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic’. It also took out the prestigious 2021 NSW Premier’s Award for Recovery and Resilience (Recovery and Resilience category).
