The Addis Ababa Hotels Association (AAHA) recently held a meeting to discuss its plans for the next five years. The meeting brought together board members and industry experts to talk about how to make the association stronger and more helpful to its members.

During the discussion, Mr. Ahmed Abubakar, who led the planning, explained that the association's main goals include increasing revenue, expanding services, and encouraging more member participation. He also said that AAHA wants to make sure it can continue to grow and improve beyond what it is already doing.

One of the key points in the meeting was how AAHA can play a bigger role in shaping hospitality policies and strategies in Ethiopia. The association wants to work closely with the government and other partners to create rules and plans that support the hotel industry. To do this, they also plan to set up a monitoring and evaluation system to track the progress of their work and the growth of the industry.

Mr. Ahmed also shared that building strong relationships with both government offices and private businesses is very important for the association’s future. By working together, AAHA can help improve the hotel industry and make sure it continues to grow and provide great service to visitors.

This strategic planning meeting was also a chance to talk about the association’s strengths, the challenges it faces, and what it hopes to achieve in the coming years. With a clear plan, AAHA is committed to supporting its members, improving services, and making a positive impact on the hospitality industry in Ethiopia.
