BACKGROUND
|
The Best Practice Forum
was launched in September 2001 by former Tourism Minister Dr Kim Howells to
improve the competitiveness of the hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism
industry. It is a direct response to the government's Competitiveness White
Paper and seeks to improve quality, productivity and business performance,
particularly amongst small businesses which make up 85% of the 300,000
establishments in the industry.
|
As the principal trade association for the hospitality industry, the
British Hospitality Association (BHA)
has created the Forum and is leading its work in a strategic alliance with
other key industry associations and partners so that benefits of this work can
be felt across all industry sectors. Through part funding by the Department of
Trade and Industry the first five years of the Forum's work is budgeted at some
�5.9million.
