Hospitality Association of Namibia

The Hospitality Association of Namibia (HAN) is a trade association for the hospitality sector in Namibia, Africa. It is fully funded by its members and serves as a self-regulating governing body for all aspects of the hospitality industry, by providing its members with guidelines for service excellence and access to training.

The number and diversity of its members make HAN truly representative of the hospitality industry, and the association plays an important role in the tourism sector of Namibia. An executive committee of its members, elected by its members, in turn governs HAN.

The Hospitality Association of Namibia was established in 1987 with just 16 members, and membership has since grown to include over 400 members.

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.

All Members benefit from several services which add value to their daily operations as well as the experiences of their customers:
