Attached DocumentsHow do you achieve Tourism Accreditation?
Essentially, to achieve accreditation a business must provide evidence that they have business practices that ensure the services and products offered by them are of a consistent quality and meet or exceed the expectations of their customers. Upon payment of the registration fee your business will be issued with an accreditation manual with examples and template forms to assist the process.
Step 1 - Register for Accreditation
Complete the Accreditation Registration Form found at the back of the Tourism Accreditation Information kit attached above and post, fax or email back to the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania (TICT). Yearly fees are based on the number of full-time or equivalent staff members employed. On receipt of the registration form the TICT will issue you an invoice for the appropriate fee.
Step 2 - Submit Supporting Documentation
Once the appropriate fee has been received you will be issued with an ATAP account user login and password. The ATAP website contains an Accreditation Checklist detailing each section of the program and documentation that needs to be submitted by uploading it to the secure site. The site has been designed for you to work progressively through the process and provides examples and templates to assist. At this point a Regional Accreditation Consultant (RAC) will be assigned to your business. The RAC is available to answer any questions and provide assistance with your accreditation documentation.
Where it is not practical to upload documentation it will be verified at the on-site visit. Please note the level of information provided should be relevant to the size and nature of your business.
Step 3 - On Site Verification
On successful completion of accreditation submission, your RAC will carry out an on-site verification. The on-site verification is conducted to check for conformity with your documented standards and procedures.
