Accommodation Association announces partnership

An industry partnership between the Accommodation Association of Australia and Caravan, RV Accommodation Industry of Australia (CRVA) will further strengthen representation of the national industry body for the accommodation industry.

The partnership allows CRVA contributors and supporters to access a range of services covering workplace relations support as well as benefit from an enhanced united industry voice through a sector membership package.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Accommodation Association of Australia, Richard Munro, welcomed the partnership.

"This is an exciting development for our industry and another example of how partnering with like-minded associations such as the CRVA will ensure that our message is strong and our members are getting maximum value from their membership through a great range of services," said the Chief Executive Officer of the Accommodation Association of Australia, Richard Munro.

Stuart Lamont, Chief Executive Officer of CRVA said "This positive relationship will harmonise important accommodation messages to Government and strengthen lobbying efforts of the whole accommodation industry. It will deliver direct benefits to each association and their stakeholders through economies of scale."

With steady improvements in occupancy and RevPAR shown in the recent December 2012 Australia Bureau of Statistics (ABS) results, the growth of the accommodation industry relies on its industry bodies to strengthen and provide specialised services and representations to local, state and federal governments.

The Accommodation Association has also partnered other industry associations such as VTIC (Victorian Tourism Industry Council) in July last year and Caravan and Camping Industry Association of New South Wales (CCIA NSW).
