Accommodation & Travel: Caravan & Tourist Parks
Accreditation / standards / ratings of caravan parks explained
Travellers on a budget or families with a number of children cannot always afford to stay in a hotel. For this demographic, caravan parks may hold the key to an affordable holiday. Tourist parks, however, can vary widely in their facilities and standards, so the Caravan, RV and Accommodation Industry of Australia has devised a voluntary National Accreditation Program for Caravan and Tourist Parks throughout Australia.
