Useful links

• West Oxfordshire District Council website has a Business Support section with lots of useful information and links
• Visit England's Accommodation Know-How website is an invaluable source for anyone thinking of setting up an accommodation business. There is an excellent (if rather daunting looking) section called Legislation Checklist that has information on all the legislation that might potentially apply
• Quality in Tourism's website also has plenty of useful information including downloadable standards booklets for each of the accommodation categories including hotels, guest accommodation and self-catering
