WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF HOTELS?

The term “Hotel” was used for the first time by the fifth
Duke of Devonshire to name a lodging property in London
sometime in AD 1760. The hotel word is derived from the
French hôtel, which refers to a French version of the
townhouse.

 What is a Hotel?

a building, edifice or premises

or a completely independent
part thereof, which is use for
the regular reception,
accommodation or lodging of
travelers and tourists and the
provision of services incidental
thereto for a fee.
What is a Hotel Accreditation?

A certification issued by the

Department to a tourism
enterprise that officially
recognizes it as having
complied with the minimum
standards for the operation of
tourism facilities and services.

 Why do hotels need an

accreditation?

The accreditation helps the DOT

monitor each travel and tourism
establishment in complying with
the standards set for the industry.
At the same time, this protects the
consumers from unreliable or
even fly-by-night operations and
poor service
