The raising of standards is crucial to the future development of tourism in the Isle of Man and we must deliver a product which compares favourably with other destinations across the British Isles and the Channel Islands. To achieve a quality product, all elements of the tourism experience must meet or exceed consumer demands.
The National Accessible Scheme (NAS) is the only scheme that rates the accessibility of visitor accommodation throughout England. The NAS helps accommodation providers improve and promote their true level of accessibility. Many travellers with access needs struggle to find suitable paces to stay; the NAS allows these visitors to make an informed choice about the accommodation they are choosing.
If you would like your property to be assessed under the NAS, please opt in on your annual registration form. The assessments are carried out every 4 years at the same time as your grading visit.
Please note there is an additional fee to be assessed under the NAS which you can view in the Participation Fees document below.
