Tourism Ministry: Jordan’s restaurants to be reclassified soon

JRA president said the current classification system is based on restaurant size, interior décor, initial investment, and other factors, but not food quality and service. Zaid Gousous said the new classification system will rate the restaurant’s cuisine and service as well as ambience, cleanliness, and sustainability of service. Malkawi said six hotels have already been classified under the new service based on the new classification system. “The system is not mandatory now, but it will be by the beginning of 2011” she said”
