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 been in the news recently[when?] for discrimination and favoritism in the Namibian Tourism Industry. Since they only represent 8% of the registered entities and account for only 1% of the national statistics on occupancy rates, there have been concerns raised by some as to their role in the tourism industry.[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.
