Standards Advisory Committee
Forbes Travel Guide enlists some of the brightest stars in the universe of hospitality and luxury brands to be sure our Star Rating standards reflect the most up-to-date guest expectations. The Standards Advisory Committee (SAC), formed in 2013, brings together experts in multiple luxury verticals from around the world to share their perspectives with Forbes Travel Guide. When we refine our Star Rating standards each year, we take their recommendations into account, keeping our perspective fresh and relevant to the discerning guest.
