Accommodation Establishments

From October 2011 Derby City Council's Tourism Team will be accepting advertising from non-accredited accommodation businesses in the area - this relates to advertising on the www.visitderby.co.uk website and any relevant city publications.

This is in response to the fact that we know there are a significant number of good quality providers out there who have not historically chosen not to go through the national inspection/grading process, and have therefore not been able to advertise with us. We realise that without the formal framework being compulsory, this will now become a bit of a grey area, as we do not have the ability or desire to 'inspect' ourselves. We do however reserve the right to refuse or remove advertising if there are proven grounds for complaint, based on the quality of products and services provided or on health and safety issues relating to the Advertiser. Our guides and website will have prominent disclaimers as we cannot be held liable for the quality of any businesses, regardless of whether it's inspected or not.
