AAA Tourism to run Fiji hotel grading system
AAA Tourism star ratings Director Loraine Duffy announced recently in a meeting of the Fiji Islands Hotel and Tourism Association, that AAAT’s internationally recognised hotel grading system was to be introduced in Fiji and that they were committed to conduct assessments on Fijian properties in July and October, before awarding the star ratings.
Ms Duffy said assessments would be conducted on hotels, motels, guesthouses,, self-catering and back packer properties and that the AAAT rating system was used throughout Australia and totally consumer-based.
Fiji Islands Hotel and Tourism Association chief executive Mereani Korova-vala said she believed all hotel members would go ahead with it and as there was no hotel grading system in Fiji, this would be the first official one. She added they looked forward to having only one hotel grading system in the country.
FIHTA Board member and Outrigger on the Lagoon Fiji general manager Paul Hughes said the AAAT system was the only one used in Australia and it was an officially independent rating system internationally recognised by all of Fiji’s source markets and one they were familiar with.
He added there should be one system of rating so everyone would be rated fairly and that the rating system would enhance house assets, increase international profile and increase perception of service.
