The primary purposes of GHRA are to promote the highest standards of service and quality in the hotels and restaurants on Guam, advocate just legislation and governmental regulations governing the conduct of business, improve business-community relations through positive interactions with Guam’s citizenry, and publicize the value and benefits of the island’s visitor industry to the territory’s economy. GHRA is a private, non-profit trade association, which began in 1972, with a small group of hoteliers. GHRA later revised its bylaws to include restaurants and allied members. Today the association has 323 member organizations with nearly 9,000 guest rooms and over 15,000 employees.
GHRA strives to be an active corporate citizen in the community. In this spirit GHRA gives scholarships in the visitor industry trade, provides training and educational opportunities, provides monthly statistical reports, and hosts the annual Tourism Cup, the Pacific Hotel & Restaurant Exposition, and other special events.
