The Venue and Accommodation working group, led by P. Tsagaan, Chief of Staff of the President of Mongolia, held its 21st meeting at the Government Palace on January 13.
The meeting, among others, discussed the system for hotel booking by guests and delegates, food safety and service standards for visiting guests, as well as the question of setting up a sub-working group to organize and manage proficiency training courses for hotel service staff, a project which is being jointly implemented with the Ministry of Labor.
The working group discussed inclusion of 47 ASEM partner hotels in an integrated hotel booking system, and relevant proposals submitted by local companies were considered during the meeting. The meeting group concluded that the payment mode for hotel accommodation and services, international transactions and hotel promotion flyers should all comply with international standards. Mr. P. Tsagaan instructed relevant officials to coordinate hotel bookings with an integrated delegate registration system, to look into the possibility of an integrated solution and to come to a final decision on this matter.
The meeting reviewed the suggestions by local companies who proposed using nano-technology magnetic stickers with health and safety guarantees on all food products, goods and services during the Summit, and it was noted that collaboration with the General Specialized Inspection Agency could be possible in this regard.
Hotel food standard would be guaranteed jointly with the Food Industry Policy Implementation Department (FIPID) of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The working group instructed FIPID to finalize the national dish menu. The meeting also reminded the partner hotels to organize culture and art performances to promote the country during the Summit.
As a result of the meeting, four sub-working groups managers were appointed to lead the groups jointly recruited with the Labor Ministry. The managers of the sub-working are to: train 800 hotel service staff, prepare 600 volunteers, train 1,800 organizing staff of the Summit and to manage souvenir shops by people with physical disabilities.
