ISAAP is recognised as the specialist operator of accreditation and certification schemes for the providers of Serviced Apartments, Aparthotels and Corporate Housing within the serviced accommodation sector of the hospitality industry.

Working closely with our clients (accommodation providers), our team of experienced Quality and Compliance Consultants assess the providers’ accommodation properties and their policies and procedures to deliver the selected ISAAP accreditation or certification award.

ISAAP is fortunate to have worked with hundreds of excellent accommodation providers over the 8 years of our existence and some have worked with us for all that time as well as 2 previous years via the ASAP Accreditation scheme. Today we are proud to have ISAAP accredited and certified accommodation providers in over 20 countries across 4 continents.

ISAAP schemes range from Safety and Security accreditations through Building and Sustainability Accreditations through to Quality and Comfort Certifications. Details of these are all featured on our website at https://isaap.org

Companies (accommodation providers and serviced apartment agents) should make contact with ISAAP through the website to secure an initial gauge of suitable options and likely costs. This will enable an educated commercial decision to be made as to the value of achieving an ISAAP award. We think the reasons for doing so are explained in the following paragraphs.

By offering our schemes to this industry sector, ISAAP are helping to create a pathway for accommodation providers to further professionalise their company and standards and so better position themselves to benefit from additional business opportunities and to retain existing, valued business.

This matters because competition is tough, and whether an accommodation business needs to compete with hotels or its peer group, any additional advantage in the eyes of the accommodation buying entity will increase that accommodation provider’s standing in comparison with others.

Corporates and travel managers are looking to, and will increasingly look to, discharge their due diligence responsibilities under ISO31030(Travel Risk Management standard) by selecting independently and externally verified accommodation providers in terms of safety, security and quality. This is because the wellbeing of their employees is a prerequisite when selecting accommodation as part of the travel experience.

ISAAP’s schemes offer this assurance to corporates and travel managers.

It seems sensible, therefore, that accommodation providers in our sector should seriously look into engaging with ISAAP to select the accreditation or certification that best suits their business and best speaks to and resonates with the needs and expectations of their direct and indirect corporate clients.

In doing what we do, ISAAP aims to help accommodation providers be successful in further professionalising their businesses and, in doing so we know that we are helping to make serviced accommodation better and safer for everyone.
