FINANCE AND OTHER SERVICE INDUSTRIES
works closely with 12 regional tourist boards,
which are responsible for the planning,
development and marketing of tourism in
their areas. Each board is a partnership
between the ETB, local government and trade
interests in their region.
Some 17,000 hotels and other serviced
accommodation are inspected and classified
by the tourist boards. The various
classifications—‘listed’ and one to five
crowns—indicate the range of facilities and
services provided. Quality standards are
indicated by the terms ‘Approved’,
‘Commended’, ‘Highly Commended’ and
‘De Luxe’. A similar arrangement applies to
self-catering holiday homes. There is also a
‘Q^ quality grading scheme for caravans,
chalets and camping parks. Information on
tourist facilities and accommodation is
available from official tourist information
centres, most of which are administered by
local government.
