The Cyprus Hotel Association is the Hoteliers National Trade Union. The history of its foundation goes back to the beginning of the 1930s. Today the vast majority of all hotel establishments and other licensed tourist accommodation units, all over Cyprus, are members of the Cyprus Hotel Association. In order to protect and promote its members’ interests, the Association takes the necessary steps and makes representations to the Government, to the House of Representatives, to various Official Organisations and to the Workers Unions on economic, industrial, commercial, labour, legislative, social and other subjects related directly or indirectly to the hotel and tourist industry of Cyprus. The Association houses in its owned offices in Nicosia, a qualified secretarial occupied with current affairs and problems, and carrying out researches, studies and planning related to the collective agreement ruling the salaries and terms of employment in the hotel industry, examining and instructing accordingly the hoteliers on legislative and other matters and guiding and advising the members of the Association in general.
