Malta Resort Achieves Accreditation
The Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Malta Golden Sands is the latest resort to achieve an accreditation award from The Timeshare Association (TATOC).
The mixed-use resort is one of Malta’s top five-star hotels, and combines a relaxing rural location with close proximity and easy transport links to the rest of the island. The hotel features a 90-metre outdoor lagoon pool, children’s pool and indoor heated swimming pool, along with direct access to a private, fully-serviced sandy beach. Guests can also enjoy a range of leisure and spa facilities and water sport activities (including an on-site dive centre) as well as a historically rich local area and award-winning dining.
Located within the Radisson Blu Resort & Spa is the Heavenly Collection, which comprises nine unique and lavishly furnished penthouses. Affiliated with The Registry Collection luxury exchange programme, the sumptuous penthouse suites offer first class comfort and space where exquisite design and state-of-the-art technology merge seamlessly into liveable luxury.
Perry Newton, project director for Azure, the resort’s marketing wing, explained why the resort applied for TATOC accreditation. “Our main focus has always been operating in an ethically compliant way to our members. This has always been at the forefront of our business mindset,” he said.
“Having endorsement already from RDO, we feel that TATOC membership is a valuable addition and will further enhance our full commitment to our current members as well as to potential new ones. Resort accreditation from a professional consumer body such as TATOC strengthens our position within the vacation ownership business.”
The TATOC resort accreditation programme was launched in 2008 as an independent award for resorts that meet the gold standard of holiday experience for guests and owners alike. The aim of the programme is to give full recognition to resorts that are truly customer-driven in their approach to timeshare ownership and are willing to commit to all requirements of the association’s code of conduct. Resorts who apply for accreditation undergo an inclusive on-site inspection and audit. The process is rigorous, robust and comprehensive, and TATOC believes it is essential that the award is seen as hard-earned and meaningful.
Any resort applying for and passing the accreditation process will be declaring themselves to be open and honest operators – resorts that have nothing to hide and everything of which to be proud. In this way, the industry’s tarnished reputation can be repaired and improved. As TATOC is the only elected Consumer Association for timeshare owners in Europe, the accreditation should be viewed as wholly independent of commercial influence, not shrouded in politics or bureaucracy of any nature and something that is being conducted with the ultimate best interests of the consumer in mind.
Harry Taylor, TATOC executive chairman and part of the accreditation team, said: “Once accreditation is achieved, the resort will be continually monitored to ensure that it continues with the high standards expected. In this way, guests and owners can be reassured that accredited resorts have not only met the criteria during the accreditation process but keep doing so – it is not a one-off. We are delighted that Radisson Blu Resort & Spa have not only joined TATOC but have committed to accreditation.”
