Visit Isle of Man Webinars - Safe, Clean Legal COVID-19 Accreditation

Background

Tourism and hospitality have been two of the hardest hit sectors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Visit Isle of Man team is focused on supporting the industry and helping to prepare businesses for when the Island can begin to welcome visitors again.

Consumer expectations and preferences have changed following the COVID-19 pandemic with consumer confidence now a clear priory for visitors looking to book a trip. It is important for the Island’s tourism businesses to champion these new visitor expectations and to build levels of confidence in our destination offering, as the Isle of Man will be in a very competitive market place when borders reopen.

The Safe, Clean, Legal COVID 19 accreditation has been launched in conjunction with tourism and hospitality quality assessment provider; Quality In Tourism (QiT). QiT has been assessing hospitality and tourism properties to set and improve industry standards across the UK for over 15 years, with Visit Isle of Man having worked with the assessor for over 13 years.

The QiT accreditation will involve an independent third party assessment, which is subsequently performed annually and grades a business as safe and compliant based on a number of strict factors, rather than personal opinion. Assessment criteria includes cleaning protocols and compliance, public safety measures and staff training, ensuring the accreditation framework remains robust and relevant to provide increased consumer confidence. All of this information will be covered in the webinar.

The Webinar

This webinar will be hosted by Deborah Heather and Sarah White of Quality In Tourism and they will introduce the Safe, Clean, Legal COVID 19 scheme to providers, exploring the importance of promoting consumer confidence, benefits to businesses of obtaining the accreditation and an overview to the accreditation process.
