Great Britain has introduced a new system of hotels’ standardization

After many years of mess in the variety of categories, symbols and criteria, the system of Great Britain’s hotel classification has finally got a clear format. Since January, in all guidebooks of the country the information on hotels will be given on the basis of new standards which are based on a five-star system and for the first time in history classify all hotels on the same scale. All the regional tourist offices of the Great Britain will follow the “National standards of the quality assurance” by means of which all the hotels of the United Kingdom will be reclassified until the end of 2008. Simultaneously, these changes have caused the occurrence of new categories of hotels. For example, so-called «metro hotel» will represent the hotel, located in the centre of the city which provides to the visitors accommodations and services, but due to its economic inexpediency, has no its own restaurant. According to the Great Britain’s tourist industry representatives, due to the new system the tourists will be completely informed about what exactly they will receive, visiting this country.
