Membership Update
In the past two months the membership team has been out and about across the state visiting members and there is plenty more travel planned in the coming months. Over this period, we have sat down with industry representatives at Cradle Mountain and listened to some of the challenges in one of our most visited areas in the state. Out of this catch up, we discovered that due to the cold snap which hit the region in early July, the roads into Cradle Mountain had deteriorated, making it unsafe for visitors. There were also concerns that the area had been overlooked to upgrades to telecommunication services (unfolding on the West Coast) as well. This has prompted us to put in writing our member’s concerns regarding this major issue and we have sent it to the hospitality minister to respond.
related, so if you have equipment to sell or are looking to purchase some quality second hand gear, feel free to post it within this closed member group. Please contact us if you want more information. Lastly, we are currently doing a face-to-face THA survey during our member visits, which should take around 20 minutes of your time. Obtaining crucial information will enable us to get a better understanding of your needs, but also hopefully it will enlighten you all on what is available with your membership. I encourage everyone to be patient and participate in this as it will shape how the THA moves forward with such things as events, member engagement and communication to name a few. Please take the time to re-discover our website www. tha.asn.au and especially the member section. If you don’t have you login details, please reach out and we will provide these to you. I also would like to welcome our new members who have joined in the last two months below. Remember our role as your member association is to take your challenges off your shoulders and provide solutions while you focus on your business. If you require any assistance, with any challenge, or you are looking at improvements to your business, please don’t hesitate to call or email us.

Earlier in July, the THA Team went across to King Island to visit members and industry to get a better understanding of how hospitality is faring. Island operators are being hit hard during the winter period – as industry everywhere is – but once again, they have increased freight costs and even more compounded staff shortages. The team ran a session in the schools with our new VR headsets which the school children really engaged with and hopefully this will inspire some to forge a career path in our wonderful industry. You can read more about this trip on pages 54-56. Recently we launched our Buy and Sell Facebook page, which allows members to post any items you have that are no longer required. Of course this is all hospitality
