Benefits of having a NAS rating
• Provides independent reassurance that your facilities have been assessed to a national standard • Gives confidence to promote your facilities to people with disabilities
• Offers marketing opportunities, including a listing in Easy Access Britain – The guide to accessible places to stay. Visitors can also search for NAS accessible accommodation on tourist board websites.
The NAS information pack is free of charge. At the very least, you should complete their self-survey form, which will help identify any barriers and highlight any improvements you can make. These improvements are often inexpensive. www.tourismtrade.org. uk/quality/assessmentstandards/ nationalaccessiblescheme
update online information
Every year Destination Management Partnerships contact businesses to collect information for visitor websites. Over time, this will start to include information on accessibility. This is part of a wider European project called OSSATE (One Stop Shop for Accessible Tourism in Europe) - an online mechanism to provide additional information to visitors about tourism businesses.
