Before 1999 it was known as the English Tourist Board and between 1999 and 2009 as the English Tourism Council. In 2003, it merged with the British Tourist Authority to form VisitBritain before relaunching as a seperate body in 2009.
The VisitEngland accommodation assessment schemes were run under licence by Quality in Tourism from 2012 to 2017, when the AA took on the license.[2]
The scheme issues quality awards to holiday accommodation, hotel, bed and breakfast, self catering holiday cottages and others.
