Hello! The design project I am working on is an apartment hotel in Clark Global City, Philippines. The national accommodation standards from the Department of Tourism of the Philippines has a specific star grading system for hotels, resorts, and apartment hotels. According to its accreditation standards: 1. Does it apply to every situation? Do I have to do it in order to get the hotel business approval? 2. Is there another regulation or standard for the hotel business approval?
