Welcome to VisitEngland's Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance Scheme (VAQAS)
"The immediacy of the debrief and the opportunity to discuss various observations was invaluable" - Arley Hall & Gardens
VAQAS was launched nationally in 2001. It is a consumer focused quality assessment service for all types of visitor attractions. It helps to identify strengths of an attraction and highlights development areas based on industry examples. A wide range of attractions of all sizes, both large and small, throughout England have benefited from participation in the service.
Within this website you will find information on how VAQAS operates and the benefits it offers. You will also find details on the services available from VAQAS and details on how to participate.
