At present we are far homogenisation of the various systems of rating assignment. There are countries, like Italy and Spain, which devolved to the regions the task of legislating in tourism (decentralization law), and this does not always have positive consequences, in fact, there is a substantial difference between the two realities: in Italy each region has adopted different systems that make it very fragmented the classification methodology, in Spain, rather , autonomous regions have adopted different systems of rating assignment very similar.
Then there are countries like France and Portugal have opted for a central system of classification, countries that have mixed this task entrusted to institutions such as the United Kingdom and others who, like Sweden and Denmark share the same system . Particularly the case of Finland does not provide any classification system. Going into this particular situation is in major European countries.
3. Spain
According to the Royal Decree 1634/83 are regional authorities that are responsible for regulating the hotel classification. The decree, however, lays down minimum criteria and provisions to which the hotels must comply, such as security systems, the requirement to display prices and best service for those extra services. Despite the hotel classification is decentralized, this does not affect the homogeneity of the system of allocating of the "stars", since different regions have adopted similar criteria for the award. It 'also provided a control system, carried out by inspectors established by each autonomous government.
4. Portugal
has since 1954, a classification system created by the State Secretariat of Tourism in collaboration with the Board of Directors of Tourism, both operating within the Ministry of Economy. The current system is governed by Law No 167/97, \u200b\u200bwhich provides guidelines for quality assurance for the designation. The legislation is provided by government agencies mentioned above, is also planned, a control plan that occur after the annual meeting. The system appears very simple but effective, and is, in fact, provided a detailed grid of requirements related to each category.
5. UK
As in Spain and Italy, also in the United Kingdom has chosen, initially, a regional system of hotel classification. Only two years ago, it was adopted a common monitoring system, the "National Standards of the Quality Assurance", promoted by the national government with the participation of the various regions of the Tourist Board. The system is based on a stringent analytical and objective assessment based on a multitude of parameters. Underlying this process is the customer, because, indirectly, is the one that set the parameters, which are also aimed at ensuring largest correlation between "star" and the actual quality.
6. Denmark
In 1997, from a market survey carried out to meet the needs of Danish consumers, we arrived at the birth of the national classification system, created by the 'Horesta "(Danish Association of Hotels, restaurants and tourism industry), an agent of market analysis, and three representatives of the Ministry of Tourism. So the main necessity, that the state of Denmark and the tourism entrepreneurs wanted to meet was to defend the interests of the consumer and not the increase in the quality of accommodation
