The Cabinet approved changes to a previous Government decision that specify the methodological norms and criteria for classifying tourist accommodation facilities that serve meals. By these amendments, the Government’s normative documents are adjusted to the changes made to a number of laws, IPN reports.

The duty to classify tourist accommodation facilities will be transmitted by the Tourism Agency to the Public Services Agency. The notion “rural house” will be added to the list of types of tourist accommodation units.

The notion “agritourist pension” will be extended to enable locating such pensions on farmland  without changing the purpose of the land.

The obligation for the personnel of tourist accommodation facilities to own a tourism brevet is annulled.
