A Mauri Mark Accommodation Standards assessment was carried out on North Tarawa tourism accommodations operators as part of the TAK Post COVID-19 Tourism Restart Program.
The Product & Development Manager Mr. Iataake King led the TAK team with a courtesy visit and briefing with the Eutan Tarawa Island council Mayor and Clerk before they headed off to visit the tourism accommodation providers at their respective locations starting from Buariki to Abatao village.
The accommodations were assessed based on the Mauri Mark Accommodation standards criteria of their facilities based on fire safety procedures, health hygiene standards, safety & maintenance, facilities and in-room amenities, environmental sustainability practices, and guest support service. Those operators that meet the minimum standards will be awarded with the Mauri Mark Certificates and allocated with the Mauri Mark coconut rating of 1 to 3 coconuts depending on their assessment results.
TAK encouraged these visitor accommodations to take this Mauri Mark Standards seriously to support the safety, security, and sustainability of their tourism products as well as assist in the promotion and marketing of their services to their target market.
