Tourism Law regulations to be announced soon


Although a new federal tourism law was enacted more than two years ago, specific provisions provided for by the statue have yet to be announced. For example, the Tourism Ministry is authorized to establish hotel categories, but just what these will be and how they will be determined has yet to be revealed. Some years ago, the ministry began with a star system, but later allowed hotels themselves to award the number of stars they wanted. In the future, another, more complicated arrangement may be announced, such as designating hotels “boutique,” “resort,” “all-inclusive,” “full-service,” “limited-service” and so on. An announcement is expected within two or three months.
