Join the National Quality Assurance Framework

The National Quality Assurance Framework (NQAF) is an umbrella term used to capture the statutory and non-statutory tourist accommodation registers and listings that are managed by Fáilte Ireland. The statutory registers contain tourist accommodation in Ireland that are using a prescribed term (e.g. Hotel, Guesthouse). Non-statutory listings that do not use a prescribed term are voluntary and these listings contain tourist accommodation that choose to become quality approved under the NQAF.

Quality assured accommodation stands out in a crowded market. Being approved by a trusted organisation such as Fáilte Ireland, the National Tourism Development Authority, enhances the credibility of your business and attracts discerning travellers.

The Framework provides consumers with easily identifiable symbols and standards of service that they can trust and demonstrates your commitment to the experience your guests have when they choose your accommodation.

Displaying the Fáilte Ireland quality assured logo will promote the fact that you are part of the wider network of tourist accommodation around the country which is approved by Fáilte Ireland.

Supported by Fáilte Ireland national marketing campaigns, your property’s listing on the Discover Ireland website combined with the Fáilte Ireland Quality Assurance sign (only available to approved accommodation providers) will encourage visitors to consider you along with others that are approved under the Framework.

The Fáilte Ireland National Quality Assurance Framework assures potential visitors that they can choose your accommodation with confidence.

Whether you offer tourist accommodation in a hotel, a hostel, a castle or a campsite - we have a quality assurance scheme for you!
