Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hotel rating systems are used in almost all countries. The policy makers, managers, and researchers take this process seriously, and contribute in enhancing the system to reflect the needs of the modern traveler. Hotels also invest a lot for getting the desired star ratings. However, at the same time, apart from the guidelines and manuals of the star rating schemes, there is hardly any reliable source of information explaining the principles on which the star rating process is based. The available information can be confusing as different rating systems have different criteria for hotel evaluation. Considering this challenge, this book attempts to bring the star rating process to life through the principles of service quality management because hotel rating systems claim to raise standards of service. Such principles were identified through hundreds of research studies and existing hotel rating systems around the world. This book focusses on making the hotel rating process simple to understand for the benefit of students, managers, and policymakers.
