MHA - BY AND FOR THE INDUSTRY
Founded in 1985, The Marine Hotel Association is a not-for-profit international
professional organization representing the cruise line industry and its
supporting supplier community. It is the only trade association of its
kind that is fully targeted at the marine hotel operations segment of
the cruise industry.
Whether your area of expertise is purchasing or hotel operations, MHA
and, in particular, the annual conference and trade show, offer an outstanding
opportunity to establish a network of industry associates.
From the supplier's perspective it's a real opportunity to find a way
through the maze of the cruise industry more quickly than could be accomplished
on a solo basis. Understanding who's who; what is the decision making
process; what are the specific needs of a cruise line and, ultimately,
what can help generate the sale of a product or service.
Dedicated to a 'by and for the industry' philosophy, the Marine Hotel
Association's continuing effort is to promote good communication at all
levels, with particular emphasis on healthy dialogue and competition,
which in turn produces an ongoing improvement of the cruising experience.
In further support of this objective, the Marine Hotel Association has
made a commitment to professional development and growth by providing
annual scholarships to the employees of its member cruise lines. As the
single most important activity for MHA, it is the culmination of all efforts
and the most worthy re-channeling of our revenue - back to the industry
as a direct benefit.
This expanded educational mission has become the focus of MHA and is
our investment in the future of the cruise industry and the future of
its employees.
What is being part of MHA all about? Simply, professional development
and growth - whether through the annual convention or continuing education
programs - and these are the very forces that will guarantee the future
success of the cruise industry.
