Pioneering star system in Norway
Innfører banebrytende stjernemerking i Norge
Norway is getting a pioneering system for quality assurance of hotels.
Norge får et banebrytende system for stjernemerking av hoteller.
The system is developed by the Norwegian Hospitality Association.
Systemet er utarbeidet av NHO Reiseliv.
It contains specific criteria for awarding hotels from one to five stars, and a simple technical solution for going through evalutations.
Det innholder spesifikke kriterier for å tildele hotellene fra én til fem stjerner, og en teknisk løsning som gjør det lett for hotellene å bli stjernemerket.
- The system is internationally groundbreaking and will be an example to be followed in other European countries.
– Systemet er internasjonalt banebrytende og vil bli et eksempel til etterfølgelse i andre land i Europa.
We know that several countries are already underway to improve its own system based on the work that has been laid down in the new Norwegian system, Giske said.
Vi vet at flere land allerede er i gang med å forbedre sitt eget system basert på det arbeidet som nå er lagt ned i det nye norske systemet, sier Giske.
The new rating system emphasizes safety, service and flexibility.
Den nye graderingen legger blant annet vekt på miljø, service og fleksibilitet.
Guest feedback also counts.
Gjestenes syn skal også telle med.
- A hotel may lose a star if guests are dissatisfied.
– Et hotell kan miste en stjerne hvis gjestene er misfornøyde.
This is a new concept compared with similar systems in Europe, Giske said.
Dette er nytt, sammenlignet med tilsvarende system i Europa, sier Giske.
