- assign to your team
- and get notified when completed just using your mobile in seconds.

Compulsory Covid-Hygine Certification in Turkey
Low prices due to foreign exchange differences and high quality of hotels and services attracts millions of foreign tourists to Turkish beachses in Southern Turkey (Antalya for summer/sea tourism and Kapadokia for cultural tourism). Russia is the main source of tourists after Germany. Turkish Ministry of Tourism published a detailed (around 140 questionnaire) checklist to reduce the risk of spread and attract foreign tourists and make it compulsory to receive this certificate from an international quality management systems certificator (SGS, BV, Intertek, TUV etc.). These companies will make regular and mystery shopper inspections to check the effectiveness of these checklists.
