  19. Basic Decisions regarding Hotel Classification • Which types of accommodation should be included • Establishing specific types such as business, family, sports hotels, hunting lodges etc. • Should categorization be mandatory for hotels (only if successfully rated the hotel can use a hotel sign) • Hotel classification public sector or private sector based. • Mandatory workshop participation prior application (Understanding of the tourism industry / the sense of classification / application of formats / cooperation needs within the sector) • Self check as first step to full rating.

  20. Some Aspects to watch • Updating hotel classification system at least every 5 years – adoption of trends • Hotel classification system has to be flexible and easy to apply • Change of investment priorities not only into hardware but also into software (quality of staff = services) • For big hotel groups star rating is no marketing tool, but for others it is very important • Updating of the classification system might cause investments into the hotel
