Regarding the strange results of an unscientific research published in one of the country’s news agencies, which claimed that 67% of foreign tourists were dissatisfied with the health status of our country’s catering units in 1998, he said: “For the success of a research project and the ability to cite and generalize the results.” It is necessary for the larger community to properly sample the target community. Certainly, if a large and complete research project in the field of foreign tourists is to be carried out, even if it is not done with the knowledge or cooperation of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism, at least the target group must be properly selected and the results scientific and standard. He added that using unrealistic headlines and generalizing unverified and non-standard comments without sources about the country’s tourism industry activists is far from fair and unprofessional.

Referring to the news, Barat added: “Some basic questions arise in the meantime: In the study conducted in the so-called research project, what was the indicator of unhealthy reception centers?” Just look at the appearance of the restaurant hall or finally W.C have been? On what basis have the possible conditions of one or more restaurants, assuming a survey of “several tourists”, become the results of a health assessment of the country’s catering centers?

Unhealthy restaurants are closed

The head of the General Department of Monitoring and Evaluation of Tourism Services, referring to the need to provide a real picture of the tourism situation in our country to the world, said: The item and index are checked and inspected up to an unsanitary title Restaurant Or it should be referred to as a catering unit and we will reach unrealistic results only with a limited and incomplete poll, and naturally such a result without basis and source should not be covered by our media in this way. The media and the press, as one of the pillars and important factors in the growth and development of society, are expected to publish news, statistics and real information in accordance with professional ethics.
