The English Tourism Council, the RACT and AA have collaborated to produce a new rating system for hotels in England. There is no statutory system currently in operation in the UK but the new system is expected to replace the plethora of grades and symbols that currently exist and cause confusion for tourists. The new system is based on star ratings 1-5 depending on level of service, range of facilities and level of guest care. Scotland and Wales are also expected to devise their own systems.
