Türkiye's Healthy Tourism Certification Program announced...

The criteria for the "Healthy Tourism Certificate" program to be launched at accommodation and food-and-beverage businesses operating in our country have been announced. There is no obligation for businesses to obtain the said certificate.

According to the statement made by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Culture and Tourism, it was announced that the "Healthy Tourism Certification" program has been launched, defining a series of new measures across a broad spectrum ranging from transportation to accommodation, from facility employees to the travelers' own health status, for all Turkish citizens and foreign visitors who will spend their holidays in Türkiye.

The Healthy Tourism Certification program is grouped under 4 main headings: "Traveler health and safety," "Employee health and safety," "Measures taken at facilities," and "Measures taken in transportation vehicles."

The "Healthy Tourism Certification" program was prepared under the leadership of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, with the contributions of the Ministries of Health, Transport, Interior, and Foreign Affairs, and in cooperation with all sector stakeholders, including our Association. In this context, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism completed the pandemic protocols and certification processes created separately for airport operations, domestic airlines, highways, and tourism facilities as of May 4, 2020. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism, which plans to implement the certification processes for hotel businesses as well as of May, will announce the facilities receiving this certification as of June 1, 2020 through all channels, including the Ministry's web page.
