FAQ on Q-MTS Quality Management

What exactly is assessed in a Q-MTS examination?

Q-MTS assesses quality not only on-site at the establishment, but also from the guest’s perspective across key touchpoints. These include the website, communication with potential guests and the services actually provided at the establishment. To this end, Q-MTS combines website analysis, mystery mail, on-site audits and personal consultancy.

What happens if vulnerabilities are identified during the audit?

If Q-MTS identifies weaknesses or untapped potential, the organisation receives specific recommendations for further improvement. Together, we assess where action is needed and which measures are appropriate. A follow-up review helps to verify whether agreed quality standards have been implemented and whether quality is being continuously improved.

How do we ensure that all businesses in our group meet the same quality standards?

To this end, Q-MTS establishes common quality criteria against which participating establishments are regularly assessed. This makes it possible to verify whether the services promised by a particular group of offers are actually being delivered. This helps hotel partnerships to ensure a consistent standard of quality whilst also identifying specific opportunities for development for individual member establishments.

Can Q-MTS also be used for several businesses in a single destination?

Yes. Q-MTS can be used by tourism associations and destinations to assess and further develop the quality of specialist partner businesses in line with agreed criteria. This is particularly useful when a region promotes itself under a specific holiday theme and guests are expected to receive reliable services from the participating businesses.

Will we receive specific recommendations on what we can improve following the audit?

Yes. Q-MTS not only provides an assessment but also specific recommendations for improvement. For example, the website analysis highlights opportunities for optimisation and best practices, whilst the on-site audit provides businesses with specific recommendations for action. This makes it clear which areas are already functioning well and where the tourism offering can be further developed in a targeted manner.
