According to the Administration, as a result of the quarantine and COVID-19 hotels project, more than 4,000 people were employed and retained during the global pandemic.

To offset the damage caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and restore the tourism sector quickly and safely, the National Tourism Administration has been involved in the quarantine management since March 2020. The process involves mobilizing the hotels designed for quarantine and people with COVID-19 and fewer and managing them across the country. Approximately, 186,000 people have received services under the quarantine and COVID-19 hotels project since March 2020.

The National Tourism Administration transports passengers from all border points (airports, ports, border checkpoints) to quarantine areas. Citizens are also transported from a clinic to a COVID-19 hotel, and vice versa.

The National Tourism Administration has developed adapted regulations specifically to support the private sector: in close cooperation and active communication with business representatives, the Ministry of Health and the Business Ombudsman, and recommendations have been developed for accommodation facilities, guides, tourist transport and catering facilities. 

1,280 representatives from the tourism industry have been trained as part of a large-scale training program to facilitate the rapid implementation of COVID-19 adapted regulations.
