Tourist boards at last reach agreement - 15-Dec-04.

Tourist boards at last reach agreement - 15-Dec-04.: "The major UK tourist boards and motoring organisations have at last reached agreement on how to grade accommodation after decades of arguing about the ratings for hotels and guesthouses...

It’s the first time agreement on ratings has been reached since the classification of properties began in the 1960s. A formal announcement of the details is expected in mid-January and the new assessment of properties will begin in April.

Under the current system, VisitBritain, the RAC and AA rate properties according to their facilities, while VisitScotland and the Wales Tourist Board also take into account the ambience and service offered. "
