British Hospitality IndustryWho is the British Hospitality
Association?
We are the voice of the UK hospitality industry positively
championing the interests of hotels, restaurants,
catering establishments & holiday attractions. Much more
than a lobbying organisation, we combine a
powerful voice and clear agenda with real, tangible
benefits.
With more than 100 years experience behind us, theres not much
we dont know about hospitality and
tourism. We go the extra mile to help our members prosper.
We engage with government, the media and the general public to
raise awareness and keep the hospitality
and tourism industry at the forefront of their minds.
We are proud to represent such a dynamic and exciting industry.
Our influence is gaining momentumin
line with our growing membership. The more members we have, the
stronger our voice. And so everyone
in our community of members and partners is very genuinely
valued. Together we will continue to raise
the perception and profile of British hospitality to world class
status.
