The portal will allow participants and attendees to book rooms for the November event in Baku
BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Azerbaijan, host of COP29, today launched its interactive accommodation portal, the system that will allow participants and attendees to book hotel rooms and other accommodations for the Conference of the United Nations on Climate Change to be held in Baku in November.
At a press conference at the COP29 Office, Azada Huseynova, Vice President of the State Tourism Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan, said that the accommodation system has been designed to ensure that a variety of room types and locations are available for people who want to attend the event.
The accommodation platform will be available for reservations https://cop29-accommodation.bnetwork.com starting at 5:00 p.m. today, May 23, 2024.
“We will be ready to welcome the world to Baku. We have studied the experiences of previous COP host countries and how they approached their accommodation programs and have integrated some elements of those practices into our plans as a COP host country,” Huseynova said. “We have created the infrastructure that will ensure that participants around the world can make their accommodation reservations quickly and seamlessly.”
The State Tourism Agency is working with hotels, online accommodation markets and other residential and accommodation venues in the city and region, to ensure that the event can accommodate all attendees comfortably and pleasantly.
The hosting available today in the system is the first phase of a comprehensive implementation. Additional rooms in hotels and additional accommodation facilities will be released in later phases.
The hotels included in the platform have been selected based on the quality, location and transportation services that will be hired for the event. The Agency audited more than 300 accommodation establishments and approximately 200 were classified and received a star rating. Around 40 hotels that did not achieve a star rating were given a period to improve facilities and performance before being audited again.
Huseynova also provided details on a customer service training program being carried out by the State Tourism Agency ahead of COP29. Approximately 2,000 employees from around 300 establishments in the cities of Baku and Sumgayit, as well as the Absheron region in general, participate.
Additionally, the Agency plans to offer training and certification to 200 tour guides, and training to another 1,000 tourism volunteers, who will be assigned to hotels to support guests during COP29.
