Sub:- Suggestions on Guidelines for Classification of Hotels
Dear Members,
This is to inform you that the Ministry of Tourism is reviewing the star classification guidelines for hotels and the MoT has requested FHRAI to share our comments on the current guidelines for star classification of hotels, with a specific focus on the Checklist of Criteria (Copy attached).
We request you to kindly share your comments / suggestions, particularly on:
- Suggestions to improve or update the checklist, and
- Clear differences to define 5 STAR vs. 5 STAR Deluxe categories, as the current system has very few differences between the two
We appreciate to receive your suggestions by 3rd August 2025 at eatosg@fhrai.com .
With best regards,
Jaison Chacko
Secretary General
