Welcome to ATAP Victoria
Accreditation is a vital tourism industry asset, designed to establish and continually improve quality industry operating standards for tourism properties, across all tourism sectors.
The Australian Tourism Accreditation Program (ATAP) is a national online program that has been developed by aligning the six existing state and territory based tourism accreditation programs. It gives tourism operators across Australia the ability to apply for 'Australian Tourism Accreditation' online.
A business that promotes their accreditation achievement by displaying the ‘tick’ logo provides consumers and the industry with an assurance that they are committed to professionalism both in business operations and delivery of service.

Featured Accredited Business
Each month we will highlight an accredited business that has really adapted to the accreditation principles of continuous improvement and best practice operating systems. These businesses are a leading example of standards set by an accredited business.
Dracula's famous cabaret has galloped through the past year like a ghost horse possessed. Their Melbourne production, TRANSFUSION, a hybrid of comic burlesque and fetish rock, has just opened, while its dark twin, Dracula's Gold Coast is also slaying 'em with BLACK BLOOD – not bad after three decades in the scream scene.
Both nefarious havens are expanding their operations and services by building new facilities, honing their professionalism and cranking up the WOW factor!
The night starts with a seductive live jazz set, while patrons dine on a three course dinner (Dracula's is the current award winner for the State Tourism, catering gong.), punctuated by the insane antics of their eccentric waiters.
Their current shows have tapped into the international tourist vein by offering a multi media mind spin that blurs the division between spectator and performer. The show's director, Haydie Newman, sets the scene.
"It's like a clash between Vampyre cabaret and Gothic opera. One minute you are tranquillised by a black art puppetry, the next thing you know a drummer, suspended vertically from the ceiling, descends on you while acrobats perform upside down - It's an unpredictable ride."
The Dracula's experience includes a ghost train ride from the True Blood Bar lounge, shop of horrors souvenirs, photo lab, separate smokers parlour and their eccentric bohemian dinner theatre. Advanced bookings are essential.
