A bit about our Scheme... AAA Tourism manages, on behalf of Australia's Auto Clubs, Australia's official STAR Rating Scheme, which provides consistent STAR Ratings for approximately 10,000 accommodation properties located throughout Australia. STAR Ratings play an important role in the Australian tourism industry’s commitment to deliver quality visitor experiences. AAA Tourism has developed this Scheme into one of the world's leading accommodation quality certification schemes.   Over 300 criteria are used to assess a property and determine its Rating between one and five STARS. Compliance is audited on-site by highly trained Accommodation Assessors using state of the art hand held Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) that record and transmit data directly to AAA Tourism's central database.

Why be STAR Rated?

STAR Ratings have grown over the last 50 years to become the recognised world wide guide to accommodation quality. A STAR Rating provides your customers with assurance as to the quality of your property. More than 8 out of 10 travellers use the STAR Rating Scheme when selecting accommodation.

AAA Tourism's Trade Marks Registration means that only properties joining the Australian STAR Rating Scheme are licensed to use a STAR Rating. This also allows AAA Tourism to act against unauthorised use of the STAR Ratings.
