We are an association of accommodation owners/managers/associates in the Blue Mountains.
Our aims are:
- To foster the promotion and co-operation of the accommodation industry within the Blue Mountains, Australia, and internationally.
- To continue to aim for the highest standard of proficiency and professionalism within our industry in our region, in order to raise our standards above our competition, and satisfy tourism demands.
- To foster friendship and co-operation within our membership, thus offering a united approach to service and hospitality within the accommodation industry.
We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 1.00pm. Our meetings are held at different members' properties each month so that members have opportunities to showcase their properties to the industry and maximise networking opportunities. The Association has a growing membership and is considered a strong and respected lobby group.
Representatives from BMTA frequently report to our meetings to keep us up to date, receive feedback and give us opportunities to raise any issues and/or ideas. We have representatives on various committees and target teams. We are given reports on their progress and again, we are provided opportunities to raise issues, and/or ideas. At present we have members on the Road Signage Committee, The Winter Escapes Committee, and The Holiday Book Committee. Some of our members are also board members of the BMTL.
We have developed our own web site, which showcases the properties of all members; www.bmaa.org.au. Constant maintenance and upgrades to the site maintains a very high ranking of this site in search results. Currently, our site ranks in the top ten results on NineMSN and Yahoo Australia.
In addition to commercial considerations, another important advantage of our association are the social and networking opportunities. The monthly meetings provide a valuable opportunity to mix with like-minded business operators, after the formal part of the meeting is concluded. We also hold a dinner on the occasion of our Annual General Meeting and our Christmas party is another opportunity for members to meet and mix with one another.
Our membership fee is $125 per year. We would welcome your membership, as the greater our numbers, the more we can achieve. We invite you to be our guests at our next meeting, so that you can better consider benefits of membership.
