emerit standards are the most recognized professional standards
available to the Canadian tourism industry.

- Accommodations
- Food and Beverage Services

- Travel Services
From a four-star hotel in Ottawa to an ethnic restaurant in Vancouver to a sports bar in Alberta to a camp ground in Prince Edward Island, when employees meet emerit standards, they rank among the best in their fields in terms of skills, knowledge and attitude.
