After 120 years of representing Western Australia’s accommodation hotel sector, The Australian Hotels Association has further committed to leading the industry with a re-naming and restructure of the National AHA Accommodation Division. “Tourism Accommodation Australia (TAA)” is the new national identity to publicly represent and lobby specifically for accommodation hotels separately from the AHA’s general hospitality members.
Tourism Accommodation Australia recognises the need for a clear representative voice for Australia’s accommodation sector.
As an accommodation property you receive membership with both the AHA and TAA simultaneously. TAA is a nationally identifiable entity to focus on accommodation sector issues and will provide a dedicated voice at a national level, together with the AHA's strong network of existing State based Associations.
We focus on issues such as state taxation, tourism marketing, events, health regulations, fire safety and more and we will continue the necessary work with the WA Government and State politicians. In addition to the resources allocated by TAA nationally, the AHA WA also monitors federal parliamentary issues that may impact on WA and we regularly are engaged in lobbying in Canberra.
There are a number of dedicated state based resources that WA members utilise, including:
The AHA and TAA are Australia's only truly national hotel accommodation representative body and continue to provide a targeted response to the complex and rapidly evolving issues facing the Australian and Western Australian accommodation industry.
