Get your 'We're Good To Go' industry standard mark
VisitEngland launched the ‘We’re Good To Go’ industry standard accreditation so that businesses can demonstrate that they are adhering to Government and public health guidance and have the required processes in place.
The scheme is free to join and Marketing Peak District & Derbyshire is encouraging local businesses to apply as soon as possible to ensure they are COVID-secure and ready to welcome visitors.
To obtain the accreditation businesses must complete a self-assessment through an online platform, before receiving certification and the ‘We’re Good To Go’ mark for display in their premises and online.
All businesses registered to the ‘We’re Good To Go’ accreditation are also automatically eligible for the World Travel & Tourism Council's 'Safe Travels' stamp.
Once you receive your certificate, don't forget to update your listing on visitpeakdistrict.com. Your web listing is managed through the Visit Peak District & Derbyshire Extranet.
