Jersey’s Hotel Grading Scheme: An Idiosyncratic Approach

Examines the development of the hotel grading scheme for the island of Jersey. A brief history of Jersey hotel grading leads to the need for a new scheme and why an independent route was taken rather than joining the mainland Tourist Board′s Crown scheme. An outline of the development and form of the new scheme is provided along with an explanation of its operation. The idiosyncrasies of operating an island hotel scheme are examined, indicating the need for an individual approach to the solving of hotel registration and grading difficulties.
