TradeSmart Information

The TradeSmart Supplier Certification Program involves the evaluation of the supplier on the 39 different business practices and/or policies. To become certified, the applicant must meet all of the 21 'essential practice' requirements, plus 50 per cent of the 18 'preferred practices' and sign a contract that serves as their commitment to the TradeSmart program. For the different types of suppliers (accommodations, attractions and activities), we provide customized guidelines that detail the special requirements for each type of business. The supplier can apply for any or all categories of motorcoach, other groups/specialty tours, and FIT packages. The certification process involves three stages - attending a seminar, becoming certified and maintaining certification.
