Give your business the competitive edge by becoming accredited.

The Quality Tourism Framework (QTF) is the new way consumers, industry and stakeholders will identify the leaders in delivering quality tourism experiences. Incorporating the Australian Tourism Accreditation Program (ATAP), the Australian Tourism Awards and Star Ratings Australia, there is a business development program to suit all tourism business. It is not an onerous or prescriptive process and has been designed by industry for industry to assist you in quality management practices.

The QTF allows you to update your businesses policies and procedures, provides you with valuable links to business development tools, and templates and help you take your business to the next level.

The Quality Tourism star and ‘tick’ highlights tourism businesses that are endorsed by the tourism industry as being quality assured.

Quality Tourism Accredited Businesses are recognised as professional, ethical and reliable operators, which deliver high quality tourism experiences.

Destination Gippsland fully supports the Quality Tourism Framework (QTF) Program. To find out more click here.
