The Accommodation Association was launched on 15 February 2011 and is a national body which has evolved out of the former Hotel Motel & Accommodation Association. The purpose of the Association is to provide a unified voice for the tourism accommodation sector.

For more than 40 years, the Association has had a service culture which is reflected in the decision made by premium hotel brands to join us, to give the accommodation beds sector in Australia specialised attention.

The Accommodation Association’s membership is made up of 2000 properties, including hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, motels, bed & breakfasts, guesthouses, backpacker establishments, caravan parks and timeshare properties in metropolitan, regional and rural Australia. Our membership is representative of 110,000 rooms.

One of the Accommodation Association’s core activities is to build and maintain strong, positive relationships with key federal and state/territory political decision-makers. Our goal is to provide real information and tangible evidence on how policy issues are having an impact on the business of tourism accommodation beds in Australia.
