Short description: Trade association in Namibia


The Hospitality Association of Namibia (HAN) is a trade association for the hospitality sector in Namibia. It is fully funded by its members and serves as a self-regulating governing body for all aspects of the hospitality industry. It provides members with guidelines for service and access to training.[1]

Composition

An executive committee of its members, elected by its members, governs HAN.[1]

History

The Hospitality Association of Namibia was established in 1987 with just 16 members, and membership has since grown to include over 400 members.[1]

Controversy

The Hospitality Association of Namibia has recently[when?] been in the news for discrimination and favoritism in Namibia's Tourism Industry. Some have expressed concern about their position in the tourism industry because they only account for 8% of registered firms and 1% of national statistics on occupancy rates.[citation needed]

Membership

Members of HAN include representatives of every area of hospitality, including hotels, guest houses, guest farms, lodges, rest camps, restaurants, conference centers and catering services.[1][2]

Office

The Hospitality Association of Namibia (HAN) head office is located in Namibia's capital city, Windhoek.
