CHA partners with BAHA

18th September 2009, 10:36am

The Considerate Hoteliers Association (CHA) has joined forces with the British Association of Hospitality Accountants (BAHA) – the organisation for hospitality professionals involved in financial management, revenue management and IT.

The strategic alliance represents a natural fit for both BAHA and the CHA – the association of hoteliers whose purpose it is to encourage, assist, cajole and motivate fellow hoteliers to adopt sustainable, environmentally friendly and socially responsible practices.

BAHA will act as the CHA's nominated expert on hospitality industry financial matters and training related to the environment, and will offer advice to the CHA's members via the CHA website, newsletter, joint case studies, and activities such as the Association's newly introduced 'Environmental Best Practice Events', open to all professionals in the hospitality, tourism and leisure industry.

Commenting on the partnership, CHA Association Secretary John Firrell said: "We greatly welcome the strategic alliance with such a highly professional and influential association as BAHA. It is a 'win-win' situation for both organisations.

"At CHA, we look forward very much, through BAHA, to demonstrating the importance and significant benefits of exercising 'environmental best practice' to hospitality finance, revenue and IT professionals; and offering guidance, encouragement and support for implementing effective sustainability policies.

Equally, BAHA has much to offer CHA members as BAHA chief executive Carl Weldon explained: "The resulting urgent need for effective Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) across the UK's industries and businesses, regardless of size, will not only benefit the planet and the local community, but also bottom-line profits – an area where BAHA naturally has much expertise to offer CHA members, especially in the current difficult economic climate."
