The Cyprus Organization for Standardization (CYS) is organizing an informative Open Day on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, at 9:30 a.m. at Cleopatra Hotel, Nicosia, on "International Standards for Medical and Accessible Tourism".
Two alternative forms of tourism, Medical Tourism and Accessible Tourism have started to seriously concern both the relevant government agencies and the business world, as another hitherto closed source of revenue that needs to be opened up by providing quality services to tourists.
In addition, the modern tourism product faces intense international competition, making it imperative to constantly diversify in order to meet the needs of tourists and the changes in the dynamically evolving tourism environment.
The workshop is open to all free of charge and aims to inform all stakeholders about the main provisions of the international standards ISO 22525 "Tourism and related services - Medical tourism - Service requirements" and ISO 21902 "Tourism and related services - Accessible tourism for all - Requirements and recommendations".
ISO 22525:2020 - Tourism and related services - Medical tourism - Service requirements specifies requirements concerning the services provided by intermediaries and medical service providers to tourists travelling for medical purposes. ISO 21902:2021 - Tourism and related services - Accessible tourism for all - Requirements and recommendations, specifies requirements and provides guidelines for "accessible tourism services for all".
The Workshop is under the auspices of the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Mr. Savvas Perdiou, who will address the conference. The Director General of the CYS, Ms Athina Panayiotou, will also address the audience. The main speakers will be the national representatives of the Agency who were actively involved in the preparation of the above-mentioned standards, as well as the CYS official responsible for the health sector. There will also be a short presentation of the standardisation activities in the tourism sector by the CYS officer in charge.
Participation in the information day is open free of charge. To register for participation follow the link https:/forms.gle/4Zibrx6Nz5Vqx9kw7
