Bahamas Hotel Association

According to preliminary statistics released by the Bahamas Hotel Association and The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and Aviation, the 14-major New Providence hotels showed continued improvement in December, with increases in several key metrics.  These improvements helped to counter weather-related impacts last January and in August, September and October, resulting in marginal increases in occupancies, room revenue, average daily room rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR) in 2011.

The Bahamas Hotel Association Human Resources Professionals (BHAHRP) has launched their website and support network for member human resources professionals in the industry.  The site also serves as a resource for Bahamas Hotel Association members for general queries on human resource matters, best practices and trends.

At its recent Annual General Meeting (AGM), held prior to Caribbean Travel Marketplace, members of the Caribbean Society of Hotel Association Executives (CSHAE) elected its leadership and Board of Directors to guide the region’s association executives during the 2012-13 term.  CSHAE executives also hammered out a strategic plan for the region’s hotel associations and agreed to renew financial support for the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association Education Foundation’s (CHTAEF) Haiti Relief Fund which provides training programs to help rebuild the nation’s tourism talent base, much of which was lost as a result of the devastating earthquake two years ago.
