December 7, Fineko/abc.az. The 5th Assembly of the Azerbaijan Hotels’ Association has been held. ABC.AZ reports that Fuad Nagiyev, the chairman of the State Tourism Agency, clarified some points at the event. 

He noted that 150 hotels have applied for the national star classification, which has been successfully carried out for two years. So far, about 100 hotels have been classified, of which only 44 have been awarded 5, 4 and 3 stars and awarded the corresponding certificates.

"Very few hotels that applied for the star category met the requirements. There were many inconsistencies in them. This led to the fact that the hotels that remained for re-audit for a good reason or had to re-apply for classification made up the majority. An increase in the number of hotels with a "star" certificate will stimulate healthy competition, which will eventually give an impetus to the development of the hotel industry, will contribute to more complete implementation of the law of supply and demand," Nagiyev believes.
