Our History

As the industry has developed so has the Association.  Evolving from BAHA (British Association of Hospitality Accountants) founded in 1969, it was recognised in 2008 that Revenue Management, a discipline that had been emerging from Yield Management in the early 1990s and IT, which delivers the complex controls and support for hotel management, staff and their guests, provide the essential and integrated structures with the financial function for hotel profitability.

HOSPA was launched in September 2011 to support hospitality professionals in Finance, Revenue Management and IT to give them the resources to work even more effectively.
