Display the 'tick' for a valuable competitive advantage.

Becoming a quality assured operator with a recognised tourism accreditation program highlights your commitment to quality.

Tourism accreditation recognises quality management practices and supports you with a credible, third party recommendation from the South Australian Tourism Industry Council, which enhances consumer confidence in your business. 

Tourism accreditation programs involve documenting your business operations, ensuring a consistently high level of customer service and product delivery.

The 'tick' is the quality assurance symbol for the tourism industry and consumers are assured that they can 'Trust the Tick!' as a symbol of:

• Quality
• Reliability
• Professionalism
• Adherence to the Code of Ethics
• Accuracy in Advertising
• and Sound Environmental Practices

The South Australian Tourism Industry Council offers group workshops and/or individual assistance to operators who are registered with the Australian Tourism Accreditation Program (ATAP) and ECO Certification programs.

The Australian Tourism Accreditation Program is an Australia wide program that is recognised under the National Tourism Accreditation Framework (NTAF). For more information about accreditation and how it fits into the National Tourism Accreditation Framework, click here.
