 What is Accreditation?
Accreditation provides parks with a framework of quality business practices in the areas as Business Planning, Risk Management, Environmental Management, Human Resources Management, Marketing and Customer Service. The implementation of accreditation is a step by step process that requires parks to create an individualised operations manual that addresses all of the key business management areas.
What are the benefits?
The establishment of the quality management system improves the overall performance of your park. It identifies key areas for improvement and helps to address and implement these improvements in a logical and efficient manner.
Once accreditation is achieved your park can legally use the Tourism Tick in all promotional material. The Tourism Tick is a nationally recognised benchmark of quality tourism business performance.
Major park insurers recognise CRVA’s accreditation quality management system. They offer discounted premiums which can save your park thousands of dollars annually.
Who can provide accreditation?
Businesses can contact the CRVA National Accreditation Manager and obtain the program available on disk. They can go through the process themselves by using the self-help documents provided and send the application in direct to CRVA. There are also CRVA Approved Licencees who can assist operators with accreditation at extra cost. Contact one of these for their schedule of costs and services
