W O M E N I N H O T E L S OUR TIME TO SHINE “Women are the backbone of this state’s hospitality industry,” according to the Minister for Tourism, Zoe Bettison. Giving the opening address to the biennial Women In Hotels Conference, she praised its 29- year history and the way it inspires delegates, allows them to share knowledge and to strengthen networks. • The Minister has attended the conference on several occasion. • She noted that women are often a key decision maker or director, that more female licensees are running their own venues and are in executive positions in accommodation. • Minister Bettison revealed that the current visitor spend of $9.4b was a record high, 16% up on pre-Covid levels. April was the strongest month on record thanks to two new events, LIV Golf and AFL Gather Round. • That spend flowed into hotels and bars, with higher room values. • She said the goal was to achieve that level of visitor nights and spending across the entire year. • The Minister urged hotel employees to be ambassadors for SA, saying “it is our time to shine.” • “Each and every one of you play a role... and your people connections make a difference.” WE’RE HERE TO HELP The strong message from AHA|SA CEO, Anna Moeller, was: “We are here to help.” • She outlined the wide range of services provided by the AHA|SA, as well as the plethora of issues the Association is working on, including: • the Late Night Code • liquor restrictions • enterprise bargaining • licensing submissions • a gaming machine trading round review… and much more. • “Make sure you access our help when you need it,” she urged delegates. “We’re like your insurance cover.” Katherine Taylor, Manager of Accommodation and Tourism spoke about the formation of Accommodation Australia: • Accommodation Australia is the amalgamation of the accommodation division of the AHA and the Accommodation Association of Australia. • Not only will it provide a unified voice, the appointment of respected industry figure Jenny Lambert will “help Accommodation Australia tackle the number one issue holding back the sector – the skills crisis.” Natarsha Stevenson outlined her two roles at the AHA|SA: Chief of Staff to the CEO – a new position; and Manager of Policy and Research (Gaming Care). • The Chief of Staff role sees her working closely with Anna and is “an evolution” of the work she has been doing. • This includes meeting with industry representatives and key stakeholders, preparing submissions to government, briefing papers and engaging with government and other stakeholders to represent members. • Natarsha touched on a range of issues, including responses to the ongoing skills shortage, the Late Night Code and a review of training for gaming.
