To find out how SECTA achieves these aims, and brings tangible benefits to its Members, please see Joining SECTA. SECTA has its own Visitors' Web site, www.secta.org.uk, which aims to attract visitors to South East Cornwall and introduce them to Members' services. One of the key benefits enjoyed by Members is an automatic free entry on the Web site consisting of their current business contact details. Changing or Enhancing Your SECTA Web Site Entry If you wish to:
please contact: The Late Availability Scheme (LA) helps members in two ways: There is an annual joining fee of £10, and you are given an access code unique to you. You will also receive clear instructions on what to do next. Whenever you have availability you want to advertise, log in and click on a button. This can be done whenever you wish, and if your accommodation becomes full you can cancel the Late Availability indicator on the Web site. At the end of each week all late Availability indicators are automatically reset. Joining Late Availability Codes and instructions will be emailed to you once your application has been processed. For the benefit of visitors and Members alike, SECTA aims to maintain quality standards among its accommodation providers, using as a benchmark the minimum standards which were required by the Cornwall Tourist Board. To this end, SECTA requires, as a condition of membership, that members providing accommodation pass an inspection. If a member has not already passed inspection by any other organisation, such as the AA, RAC, South West Tourism (SWT) or any other body inspecting under the National Quality Assurance Scheme (NQAS), then they may join the SECTA inspection scheme. SECTA employs an Inspector, and a small charge per inspection is levied to cover the cost of the programme. Please contact the Chairman or Secretary for more information.
