[]
Trend – News from Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Iran and Turkey.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Azerbaijan (AmCham) has recommended integrating the international Green Key sustainability certification into the national hotel classification system in its report, Trend reports.
"It is recommended to integrate Green Key into the national hotel classification system.
Implementation can be phased, with hotels receiving support to meet certification criteria," the AmCham report said.
AmCham recommended exempting OS&E and FF&E from customs duties, which they believe will support the development of the hotel sector and attract international investors.
However, the current contract is time-limited, and its potential discontinuation poses a risk to the tourism sector.
