Uniform and official classification of accommodation facilities for 2006-2009

For the period 2006-9, the certificates and classification signs are accorded pursuant to a newly designed system of uniform and official classification of accommodation facilities in the category hotel, hotel garni, boarding house and motel, which has been prepared by the professional confederations HO.RE.KA CR, NFHR CR (today consolidated under the AHR CR) and Unihost, in conjunction with the Ministry for Regional Development and the Agency CzechTourism.

The certification of accommodation facilities in other categories is controlled by other organizations: Czech confederation of entrepreneurs in provincial and agricultural tourism, Campsites and bungalow settlements of the CR – trade association and the Club of Czech tourists.

This guidance note is not a generally binding rule, it has a recommendation statute and serves as an aid in ranging the accommodation facilities of the category hotel, boarding house, hotel garni and motel into the appropriate classes according to the set minimum requirements, and its primary aim is an improved orientation of consumers - guests and mediators - travel bureaus and agencies, an increased transparence of the accommodation market and an improved quality of services rendered by the accommodation facilities.

The classification is not a generally binding enactment and it is up to the operators of an accommodation facility, whether they will undergo the certification process or otherwise. For its members and non-members, the certification and the pertinent verifications within the category hotel, hotel garni, boarding house and motel are carried out by the professional association, following a set of implementation rules. The validity of the certificate is 4 years (from 1. 1. 2006 to 31. 12. 2009).

ANY CERTIFICATES ISSUED PRIOR TO THE YEAR 2006 ARE INVALID!!!
