Studies show that more than 77% of hotel employees in Ethiopia are not professionals which could fit the standard of hotels in the country. In order to fill this gap, the association has been giving different kinds of trainings at AHA training center which designed to build the capacity of member hotel employees and to enhance their performance.
Moreover we have Addis Ababa Hotel Guide that is being produced every year. This guide has the entire list of Members and tourism partners who have valuable services to offer for travelers to the city. In addition this guide will be available in all international organizations in Addis Ababa such as African Union (AU), European Union (EU), United Nation offices (UN), world health organization (WHO), International Labor Organization (ILO) Ethiopian air lines, Tour and travel agency office, embassies in Addis Ababa and in all Ethiopian embassies found in countries around the world
