Accreditation Fees
NaturismRE accreditation fees are structured to support venue classification, standards development, administrative review, public verification, sector credibility, and long-term governance of the nudist and naturist venue standards framework.
1. Purpose of Accreditation Fees
Accreditation fees are administrative contributions that support the development, review, maintenance, and operation of the NaturismRE Industry Standards framework.
Fees are calculated according to venue type, venue size, membership scale, operational model, and review requirements.
2. Payment Options
Venues may select between an annual payment option or an upfront accreditation-cycle payment.
Annual Payment Option
The venue pays the applicable accreditation contribution annually during the accreditation cycle.
Upfront Accreditation Payment
The venue pays the accreditation-cycle amount upfront and receives a 5% reduction compared with annual payment totals.
New Venue First-Cycle Reduction
Eligible new venues receive a 50% reduction for their first accreditation cycle.
Subject to Review
All fees, classifications, and review processes are subject to periodic revision as the accreditation framework develops.
3. Definition of New Venues
For the purposes of this fee framework, new venues are defined as venues that have been operational for less than two years from the date of their first accreditation application.
The new venue first-cycle reduction is intended to support emerging venues while encouraging early adoption of transparent standards, responsible governance, and classification clarity.
4. Daily Visitor Clarification
Daily visitor capacity is assessed using venue self-reporting, advertised visitor access, operating model, and declared acceptance of day visitors.
For venues with accommodation, daily visitor capacity may be calculated as 10% of total accommodation capacity unless a more accurate declared or documented figure is provided.
