However, for each of them shall be charged tax, so the owners of small hotels officially register their enterprise as a two-and three-star and advertised as a four-star and above. Hotels in Germany also have the right to arrogate to itself any category. But in a country there are professional associations, whose authority is very high – hotel guild who conduct inspections of hotels, and in case of a discrepancy level of service standards adopted by the union regarding a given amount of "stars" are officially announce violations. Therefore, hotel owners in Germany did not seek to inflate their ratings.

The most stringent rules apply in France and Spain. Number of stars hotels and hotels in these countries is regulated and controlled by special state bodies. In case of discrepancies hotels declared level, it may lower the rating, or even close. Swiss hotels are classified according to criteria of 'star', developed by the Swiss hotel Society (SSH).

The owners of the prestigious hotels of international class, working in different countries around the world, often invite experts from Switzerland, so that they confirmed their 'stardom' in the system SSH. It is not surprising that such national differences in the ways of assigning the hotels and star hotels are often confusing consumers. World Tourism Organization (WTO) a few years ago tried to introduce a universal system of classifying hotels, was designed by a set of rules for determining the 'star' hotels.

However, these standards have not yet become binding in all regions. In Russia has a five-star system, but confirm his class domestic hotel may different ways. The bulk of the hotel mid-and low-level continues to be 'stars', issued many years ago State standards. Luxury hotels booking service classification in Switzerland or BTO, as is sometimes requested to confirm the 'stardom' to their western counterparts. The right to assign star hotels in Russia belongs to the Federal Tourism Agency of Russia (Rosturizm). Classification of hotels and other accommodation in three stages: first stage – expert assessment of conformity of hotels and other accommodation category, the second stage – the certification of hotels and other accommodation, the third stage – the expert control of classified hotels and other accommodation facilities. In the capital of the Urals – Ekaterinburg – there are about 34 hotels and hotels, but not all hotels in Yekaterinburg were the classification procedure and received a certificate confirming their category. Such certified hotels in Yekaterinburg 17. Most of them, or rather 10, have category of "three stars". "One Star" is assigned to one Yekaterinburg hotel. Also, one hotel in Yekaterinburg has a five-star ". Two of the hotel confirmed the category of "two stars, three hotels were" four stars.

Gen. David Goldfein will not settle for partial explanations. Abkhazia met us with an evening orange sun. As long as we sped from the airport of Adler in New Athos, I heard the legend of Abkhazia and looked around: the mysterious sea of color, the sun, slowly setting over the horizon, the mountains, whose peaks wrapped a thick haze, high powerful trees swaying in the wind. New Athos was not what I expected: the wooden old houses, bathed in tangerine plantations a lonely old man, wandering along the road, driving pale yellow cow. But now for the next sharp turn in full swing with might and main night life: cars speeding along the roads, colorful local gossip aunt in the stall, on a small embankment gradually flaniruyut small flocks of tourists from Russia. It is the center of New Athos. And then again, turn and instead of modern houses grow eucalyptus trees, the street bustle disappears. The air becomes viscous circle quiet, barely audible distant chiming bells, we are in the suburbs.

Gravel under the wheels rustle – that house Samvel. His son, Anton, greeted us, grabbing nearly all the luggage, rattling and cursing silently, escorted us into the room. Not unpacked, pile on the bed and fall asleep in this heroic sleep, feeling light intoxication mountain air.
