“In a very short space of time, the GHA has grown its membership and now represents the majority of the island’s accommodation providers,” said group president Alan Sillett. “With a strong and cohesive group, we are fast becoming a positive force for good for our sector, and tourism in general,”

“We look forward to working in partnership with the new Assembly to ensure the hospitality sector plays a fundamental role in the revive and thrive strategy.”
