Sailcottages are proud to have been one of the first group of businesses in England to go down the new Visitor Ready accreditation route

The AA, the UK’s leading hospitality assessment scheme provider, alongside VisitEngland, the national tourism agency, have announced plans to future-proof the hospitality industry with a modernisation plan which simplifies the current quality standards and has recently introduced the new Visitor Ready scheme.

The Visitor Ready scheme enables businesses in the UK hospitality, leisure, and tourism sectors to seamlessly showcase their commitment to operating safely within current industry standards and legislation. It has been created to make compliance accessible for all. The accreditation helps business to know the key safety and cleanliness requirements that today’s visitor expects. Businesses can check eligibility at VisitorReady.com, upload evidence and confirm they are compliant with key requirements.

Approved businesses benefit from a secure wallet for key documents, automatic reminders when documents need to be renewed, and a digital badge showing they are compliant.

Earning the Visitor Ready badge represents a commitment to compliance with core standards, to assure customers they have the necessary checks in place. It means consumers can now visit with confidence.
