GLAMPSITES Safe, Clean & Legal GETTY IMAGES Post pandemic, Quality in Tourism’s Safe, Clean & Legal certification is more relevant than ever CONSUMERS OFTEN assume that any property they stay in is safe and compliant. In reality, this may not be the case, particularly with the boom of the internet and the rise of glamping. Our assessors are the enforcers of legal standards for the industry, ensuring that businesses have the correct documentation and checks in place, from fire safety to food safety, confirming that the accommodation meets or exceeds minimum standards. Our checks are annual, robust and objective, rather than personal opinion. It’s this impartiality that makes the scheme so strong. What’s more, in the post-pandemic world of travel, nearly 80% of potential guests expect any accommodation provider that they book with to have an independent accreditation of their standards, and 64% expect the accreditation to include an independent inspection. That makes Safe, “THE ACCREDITATION WORKS FOR ANY BUSINESS LOOKING TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR COMMITMENT TO STANDARDS, REASSURING POTENTIAL GUESTS THAT YOU HAVE APPROPRIATE STANDARDS AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY” Clean & Legal more relevant than ever to the industry. Who is Safe, Clean & Legal suitable for? The accreditation is suitable for hospitality operators and accommodation providers, who want to provide guests with reassurance of standards, but for whom quality (star) ratings may not be relevant or applicable. The accreditation works for any business looking to demonstrate their commitment to standards, reassuring potential guests that you have appropriate standards and that they have been inspected by an independent third party. The scheme has been reviewed by Cornwall Council under Quality in Tourism’s Primary Authority partnership. This means that for local authorities across the country there is a system in place where properties that are advertising on shared economy platforms such as Airbnb or HomeAway can apply to be assessed under the Safe, Clean & Legal scheme. Accreditation will help to give confidence in the policies and procedures under which those accommodation providers are operating, with the aim of raising levels of compliance within that area.
