The Tourism Bureau has launched the nation's first official star-rating system, and out of the 24 hotels that participated, 8 have been recognized as five-star hotels.

This bronze star is the Tourism Bureau's officially approved rating for hotels.

It ranges from 1-star to 5-star and evaluates facilities and services, allowing visitors to have a better under

The first phase of the evaluation involved a total of 24 hotels, of which 8 received 5-star accreditation.

Still, many famous 5-star hotels, were not involved in this evaluation.

They did not participate in this evaluation though they may participate in the next one, though they added that receiving this certification from the Tourism Bureau may not affect their business.

The tourism industry also believes that the Tourism Bureau does not carry much weight with its certification, and if few hotels participate then the value of this program will be compromised.

The Tourism Bureau said that in the future they will use policy incentives to first cooperate with businesses that take part in the program,

and if they falsely claim to be rated they violate the Consumer Protection Act with false advertising and face a potential fine.
