As COVID-19 pandemic measures saw corporate travel grinding to a halt, wreaking havoc on the business accommodation sector, Polymer assisted national corporate accommodation provider, Urban Rest Apartments, in promoting its response - a nation-wide temporary 14-day COVID-19 self-isolation package.

Aimed at corporate travellers returning from overseas, as well as local families seeking a more comfortable self-isolation experience, the package’s nightly rates equated to less than half the company’s standard rates.

Urban Rest’s founder and Managing Director, David Whelan, said “Many corporates are accommodating their returning international business travellers in standard hotel rooms, which sees them holed up in tiny spaces where they are having to live and try to work productively in really challenging environments, during their self-isolation.

“In contrast, we’re offering larger and more comfortable apartments and houses at a heavily reduced rate, at a time when health and wellbeing is paramount.”.

Polymer’s media release secured coverage in national and trade publications across the country and received over 700K potential views.
