VisitBritain’s acting chief executive is hopeful of approval for the tourism body’s proposed industry standard quality mark in the coming days.

Sustainable Goals

The organisation said in May the quality mark would provide a “ring of confidence” for domestic tourism businesses, attractions and destinations.

Plans include businesses completing a risk assessment and free online training course to help them adhere 
to the official government guidelines, before being provided with the quality mark and certificate.

With the domestic tourism industry starting to open up from next month, speaking during the TTG Domestic Tourism seminar, Patricia Yates said trade bodies were busy working out the guidelines, with UK Hospitality leading the way.
