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[edit]

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

History[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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