Rating Criteria / Rating System (see Chart 4)
More and more upper star category houses get rid of the model of categorizing their high standard level by hotel stars. Legislative novelties or industry sector specific guidelines (for example the PharmaCodex disables Pharma companies to book luxury segment hotels (5stars) for medical conventions etc.) are just some reasons turning the rating system using stars out to be a competitive disadvantage.
