The Ministry of Culture and Tourism's Department of Investment and Enterprises has published Amendment No. 2020/6 to the General Directive on the Controlled Normalization Process in Accommodation Facilities. According to the directive, active facilities with a capacity of 30 to 49 rooms must obtain the Safe Tourism Certification by January 1, 2021. Facilities with 30 rooms or more that begin operations after this date must obtain the certification within seven days of their opening date. These certifications are issued by companies authorized to provide them, as listed on the website of the Türkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (www.tga.gov.tr), upon verification that the required conditions have been met.
