This is the Republic of Uzbekistan’s national adoption (Oʻz DSt) of the ISO vocabulary for hotels and other tourism accommodation types, presented in the national standard catalog as an identical adoption of the international text.

Abstract

The Uzbek adoption follows the international terminology set out in the ISO document.

The scope covers classification-type names (hotel, motel, aparthotel, hostel, bed and breakfast, serviced apartment, holiday home, homestay, etc.), room-type designations and common service-related expressions used in accommodation descriptions.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized definitions for accommodation types (hotel, motel, aparthotel, hostel, pension, B&B, serviced apartment, holiday flat/house, homestay, etc.).
• Definitions of room and unit types (suite, studio, apartment, dormitory, multiple-bedded room).
• Terms describing levels or arrangements of service (all-suite hotel, serviced apartments, extended-stay concepts).
• Notes clarifying common usage (for example, typical services offered by a pension vs. a hotel, parking/roadside context for motels, bed-count conventions for hostels).
• Terminology intended for use in regulation, labeling, consumer information, standards-writing and translation/localization of tourism materials.

Typical use and users

Regulators, tourism ministries and agencies, accommodation classification bodies, hotel and accommodation operators, tourist information centers, travel agents, standards bodies, translators/localizers of tourism content, and authors of tourism-related procurement/contract documents. The vocabulary is used to align description and communication of accommodation types for consumers and professionals.
