Highlighting uniqueness

 

Because tourist satisfaction and the image of La Réunion are our priorities, the Qualité Tourisme Ile de La Réunion scheme aims to highlight the outstanding quality offered to holidaymakers by certified establishments. Obtaining the label will really boost your communication strategy.

The national Qualité Tourisme™ brand

 

Qualité Tourisme Ile de La Réunion (QTIR) is a quality scheme that has been officially recognised since 30th March 2011 by the national Qualité Tourisme™ Plan (PQT), offering hotels and restaurants an opportunity to apply for the Qualité Tourisme™ seal of approval. Under the QTIR scheme, establishments are guided through the proceedings to submit their application for use of the brand.

Launched in 2003, the Qualité Tourisme Plan is based on a selection of quality procedures set up by tourism partner networks, local institutional players or businesses to help professionals that follow the procedures to obtain the Qualité Tourisme™ label.

Different stages have to be followed before the quality label can be awarded:

  • Self-appraisal and pre-audit.
  • Guidance.
  • Assessment by a secret visit from an external consultant.
  • If the overall score is at least 85%, the case is presented to a technical follow-up committee.
  • Award of the certificate and communication campaign.
  • Annual follow-up by the technician.
