TrustedStays is an industry-first platform for professionally managed, accredited home accommodation for the business traveller, in partnership with STAA and the UKAA. It provides a trusted route for government and corporates to offer apartments and homes as an option to their employees when they travel, through their approved booking systems. Via TrustedStays, STAA will provide the government with one single, consolidated platform through which to book accommodation (at discounted rates) in quality homes across the UK. The scheme is only open to STAA members who have accreditation from Quality in Tourism’s Safe, Clean and Legal scheme. Major players in the short-term accommodation industry - such as UnderTheDoormat (who provide luxury homestays across London) and Sykes (who represent thousands of properties around the UK) – have already flocked to take part.
