Blog. North East Hoteliers give HA a boost

The North East Hotels Association (NEHA) has presented Hospitality Action with a cheque for £1,500. The funds were raised by over 400 guests through a special prize draw at the North East Hotels Association eighth annual Excellence Awards, which celebrate the brightest stars of the region’s hotel industry. The NEHA is believed to be the biggest of its kind in England, representing 50 of the region’s best-known hotels including internationally and nationally recognised chains, and leading independent hotels. Association members have a significant impact on the regional economy, employing more than 3,400 people and spending £70 million purchasing products and services through its supply chain. It is estimated that the overall contribution of the NEHA to the North East economy and GDP of the region is £616 million.
