                    [Summary] => 
We have been writing columns against the Department of Tourism's "Star Rating" system, which in my book is totally unnecessary for the simple reason that many nations have already dropped their own rating systems because these ratings are now being collated and published worldwide by Internet sites like Agoda, Expedia, Hotels.com, and many other sites where you can find great hotel rates and deals all in the Internet.
