Development of tourism at the national and community level in Armenia is one of the main priorities. Tools for promoting economic, particularly tourism development, and creating a favorable environment for local economies are limited to local self-governance bodies. Fiscal feedback tools are also lacking in the business environment.

On September 7, 2017, the Republican Council of the Union of Communities of Armenia adopted a message addressed to the Government of Armenia, which also calls for: "Enhance the community's financial capacities, particularly through the use of hotel tax rates and income tax, as a result of which communities can become champions for economic development."

The use of hotel tax is also a fair distribution of resources between public bodies as a result of decentralization.

The purpose of the round table:

• Discussing the use of hotel tax with the involvement of interested actors.
• Ensure the dialogue and cooperation between the representatives of communities, the state, the tourism industry. Create a dialogue between the main players in the dialogue platform.
• The position of the Communities and Communities Union of Armenia to voice and make available to all partners.
