Minister of Tourism Yehia Rashed approved the joint basic bylaws of the tourism chambers and their federation, governing elections for the chambers' boards of directors and the rules for running for membership, following their review by the State Council.
The new bylaws include several amendments, the most important being the abolition of candidacy fees for chamber membership and the formation of caretaker committees for the chambers if the required number of candidates for the board of directors is not reached.
The bylaws were sent yesterday for publication in the Official Gazette, and a decision on the sectoral representation of the chambers is being issued following the publication of the bylaws.
