Tasmania has one of the highest rates of tourism accreditation in Australia - you can check out the full list here.

TICT encourages you to join this group of operators - but don't just take it from us, here is what our operators think.

"We have been an accredited operator of the TICT from very early on in our tourism journey. The TICT has been invaluable to our business in many regards, and the team have largely contributed to our success. The accreditation process has enabled us to learn what attributes make an exceptional tourism business. Now, thanks to the TICT, we are passionate about quality, sustainability, exceptional customer service, accessibility and more, across our entire business." - The Cove Tasmania

“The accreditation process forced me to have a long, hard look at the business and think about some of the variables which could impact me and the business model. Since becoming accredited, we have implemented the risk management plan and also the emergency evacuation plans, ensuring that we are well versed in guest safety. We have also implemented more composting, recycling practices and are conscious of working only with eco-products. I would say the accreditation program was an extremely valuable learning opportunity and a great stretch for businesses to be engaged in the sustainability programs available.” – Poet’s Cottage Stanley
