IBTC classifies hotels into 10 different categories. This classification
helps for grading the hotel whereby the member can know the facilities at
each property. The classification and grading is an IBTC procedure and has
nothing to do with the classification of the hotels from their respective
governments. IBTC holds correspondence with regards to the independent
classification and is mainly for private use to inform its members. The same
shall have no legal consequences.
