Welcome Schemes
Tourism NI's Welcome Schemes are designed for accommodation providers who are actively participating in Tourism NI's Quality Grading Scheme only. These Welcome Schemes are provided for those travelling with families, or visitors with a specific interest in walking holidays, golf, cycling, etc. to help them find suitable establishments for their needs.
Visitor online searching habits have advanced and people will often now search for e.g. a walking or cycling holiday in Northern Ireland and having your property listed in the relevant Welcome Schemes may make your property more appealing to these visitors.
The Welcome Schemes help direct visitors to suitable establishments that pay particular attention to their various needs.
The Welcome Schemes are free to all members of the Quality Assurance Grading Scheme with accommodation providers receiving an assessment for suitability at the time of the initial grading assessment visit.
