Hospitality Review - December 2021

MEMBERSHIP & CORPORATE

Membership

Corporate

Hospitality venues are more united than ever, and with over 750 members in 2021 the THA continue to play a role supporting a wide range of industry. While venues continue to feel the ongoing impacts from Covid-19, our staff have been there to provide advice and support to remove the burden from our members and let them focus on what they do best - ‘provide a great experience’. We are an association that listens to industry and lobbies government and stakeholders for outcomes that support our members. As our membership continues to grow the industry’s voice becomes louder, which in turn helps benefit industry, and I thank those members who have recommended venues for us to visit to discuss membership opportunities. Quite often the main reason for venues becoming a member is the industry leading employment relations support we provide, however once conversation starts and we better understand a venue’s needs, our corporate partner support network comes in to play – often uncovering large savings across a range of day to day expenses. A focus in the second half of the year was to get around the regions on our tour of Tasmania with CEO Steve Old. The trips were a great way to visit venues, listen to issues, and take the opportunity to catch up and discuss what we and our corporate partners can do for you. There is an article about the trips on page 28 which talks about the challenges venues are facing, and how we are using this information to support industry. We look forward to hitting the road again in 2022 and seeing our members in their venues. We are proud to be able to hold membership fees again at the 2020 rate given the continued challenges the industry is facing, membership renewal correspondence has been postedout and we hope you have received this. We will continue to advocate passionately and relentlessly for the best interests of the industry and issues that affect your business and livelihoods and look forward to continuing to support everyone well into the future. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly should you have any questions around your membership renewal or to update your details.

We continue to source newpartners andworkwith existing partners to help members save money or become more efficient with their businesses. The strength of our growing membership base means more and more partners are looking to the THA to support and connect with industry. With over 60 corporate partners there is some great support available. While a few are detailed below, our member renewal packs will have a booklet outlining all these partners and what support they can offer members. Please call me on 0439 119 343 to discuss what they can do for your venue or suggestions of areas of your business where you need assistance. Through our partnershipwith Bennett’s Petroleum our members, and their staff, can access 6 cents per litre discount (up to 75 litres) on their fuel purchase simply by showing their THA/ Bennett’s keyring at any one of their retail sites. With their venues also including the Mood Food brand, members can also access exclusive offers throughout the year when they visit these venues.
