Obligations
What this law requires
Tourism facilities that use music in common areas must attach to their application a document proving that they have obtained a music license from the relevant federations operating under Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works.
Existing certified tourism facilities, other than accommodation facilities, that obtained a partial tourism operation certificate or tourism operation certificate before this amendment entered into force and are now required to submit a music license document must obtain that document by 31 December 2026.
Existing certified tourism facilities, other than accommodation facilities, that are subject to the new music license requirement must submit the music license document to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism by 31 December 2026.
Facilities subject to the music license document requirement must comply with the requirement because non-compliance identified during inspections will result in proceedings under the applicable law.
