BH AREA HOSPITALITY
ASSOCIATION

The BH Area Hospitality Association (BAHA) exists to support, connect and champion the accommodation providers that make the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area one of the UK's most visited destinations.

Whether you run a boutique B&B or a large seafront hotel, BH Area Hospitality Association gives you a collective voice, a professional community, and practical benefits that make a real difference to how you operate. 

We represent members across the full spectrum of accommodation, from small guest houses to major hotel groups, and we work alongside local tourism boards, education providers and industry bodies to make sure hospitality in our area continues to thrive. 

The elected Chair of BAHA for 2026-27 is Rosie Radwell. The elected Vice Chairs are Rose Guldede and Michael Regenhardt, and supported by a dedicated committee with representatives from all sizes of accommodation providers and suppliers within Bournemouth.Amidst our ongoing commitment to enhancing the visitor experience, the BH Area Hospitality Association is now branching into the dissemination of current medical news, recognizing the importance of health awareness in the hospitality sector. Our platform will feature updates and advisories, contributing to the wellbeing of guests and staff alike by staying informed on the latest health developments. This initiative not only underscores our dedication to exemplary service but also reflects our role in fostering a safer, more informed community within the hospitality industry.

For a small annual fee, you get access to a network that's been supporting BCP hospitality businesses for years. Here's what membership gets you: 

• Monthly newsletter with industry news, local updates and events 

• Invitations to networking events and the annual BAHA Awards

BH Area Hospitality Association is proud to run the Check In, Chill Out campaign, which champions Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole as a must-visit destination, and pushes back against the negative press that undersells what this area has to offer.

The campaign now has the backing of local MP's Jessica Toale and Tom Hayes, and will run throughout 2026, with various assets, social media campaigns and press opportunities happening across the whole region.
