Tourist Accommodations

The mission of the tourist accommodation program is to minimize illnesses and injuries associated with unsanitary or hazardous conditions through regulation and inspection of Georgia’s tourist accommodations. Environmentalists review plans and issue permits for the construction or renovation of hotels, motels, and bed& breakfast inns. Environmental Health Specialists routinely inspect cleanliness of rooms, food service facilities, and general safety. They also investigate complaints of pest and public health risk factors.
