• represent and protect the interests of its Members through its membership of, or liaison with, partner organisations, both nationally and locally
• promote South East Cornwall as a visitor destination while preserving the unique character of the area
  promote facilities and services offered by SECTA Members
• lay down a Code of Practice and Minimum Standards for accommodation and undertake inspections, where necessary
• promote high standards in all amenities offered by Members
• research, negotiate and operate services and opportunities of direct benefit to its Members

For the benefit of Visitors and Members alike, SECTA aims to maintain quality standards among its accommodation providers. 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.
