THE JERSEY HOSPITALITY ASSOCIATION IS HERE TO SUPPORT AND PROMOTE ALL SECTORS OF THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY IN JERSEY.
Owning or running a hotel, guest house, self-catering, air b&b, restaurant, café, pub, bar, fast food outlet, catering, attraction, recreation, supply chain, producer, entertainment, event, travel, or transport business, to name a few, is one of the toughest businesses to be in, but it’s also one of the most exciting and fulfilling in the world. In fact, Members tell us running a business in this sector is sometimes like being on the stage!
Our vision at the JHA is to nurture, support and grow the Channel Islands into a leading hospitality destination by turning on the spotlights and promoting a better understanding of what we do as a sector. We want to highlight our contribution to the economy, quality of life, and encourage young talent to develop a worthwhile career in the Industry.
We aim to retain, gain and grow our hospitality membership so it is reflective of all parts of the sector. Our objective is to build confidence and credibility both within the industry, government and among diners, guests and visitors alike.
We keep an eye on what’s coming down the track, so that you can keep your eyes firmly on your guests and customers.
Together, we can ….
Together we can present a clear choice for Government and the hospitality industry. Either we are content with the ‘steady as she goes’ approach or we jointly pilot a path with a more ambitious strategy.
The aim of the JHA is to unite our industry in a single powerful voice so that hospitality can be recognised as one of the key value drivers in the Channel Island economy.
What sets our industry apart from the others is its people – their spirit of generosity, their passion for service to others, and their sense of community. The hospitality industry and its future success thrives on how we engage and inspire our most powerful asset – our rather significant strong workforce.
