VisitBritain has launched a new initiative to encourage England’s 6,000 visitor
attractions to sign up to a new national Code of Practice. From 1 April 2008,
only those attractions committed to the Code of Practice or participants in the
Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance Service (VAQAS) will be promoted by VisitBritain.
The Code covers operating hours, amenities, facilities and services, entry prices
and charges, pre-booking requirements, accessibility,maintenance, customer care
and courtesy, sustainability and visitor comments/complaints. Registration costs
£25 and lasts for three years. Participants will receive a copy of the Code which
they can display at point of entry, access to a benchmarking and best practice
guide, and regular newsletters.
The Code of Practice is available as a downloadable pdf by clicking the link
