Description

The procedure concerns the actions to be taken by the operator of the tourist accommodation if the accommodation includes swimming pools. The notification procedure has replaced the issuance of a swimming pool operation permit. Swimming pools within tourist accommodation shall operate lawfully after submission of said notification. The planned inspection of the lawful operation of the swimming pools shall be carried out on an ex-post basis by the competent authorities.

Notes

The necessary supporting documents must be registered and posted to the OPS platform; during operation, the operator must maintain a file with all the required documentation for the operation of the swimming pool, which it must present when requested by the competent inspection authorities. If the same entity operates the tourist accommodation and the swimming pool, the notification regarding the swimming pool installed at the tourist accommodation shall be submitted during the tourist accommodation notification phase. In the case of a subsequent addition of a new swimming pool, the notification of the tourist accommodation must be amended, and a new fee must be paid.
