Grading

with consumer expectations and industry ratings standards, Botswana
Tourism Board is charged with establishing and maintaining a grading
process for tourism establishments, beginning with fixed accommodations.
At the end of 2008, nearly 300 properties have been graded on a 1 to
5 star basis (5 being highest). Graded facilities display in their premises
BTB’s plaque and the star rating as awarded. They are also expected
to display the certificate issued to them by the Board inside their
establishments. For
