    GHRA 45th Anniversary Special 1 Message from the President Hafa Adai! In the last 45 years, GHRA has focused on improving business-community relations through its public and private partnerships to serve as a liaison for the tourism industry and advocate issues that govern the conduct of business on Guam. GHRA has helped address government and non-government organizations to better serve its members by staying connected, provid- ing key information and representing the issues with an industry perspective. GHRA continues to explore ways to develop economic growth, sustainability and improve service standards for our island, residents and visitors. In addition, GHRA has educated members by providing training programs through workshops, seminars, certification courses, and scholarships; supported industry employees through social sports leagues and recognition programs at annual events such as HERO awards, Beyond the Call of Duty for Integrity and Life Saving awards, International Housekeeper’s Week, and Gold- en Latte awards; and coordinated special events for networking and showcasing products such as PHARE, Taste Guam, Industry Night, and the GHRA Social. Going forward, GHRA will also continue to serve an important role in compliance and regulatory affairs, expand workforce develop- ment programs by partnering with the Guam Community College, GCA Trades Academy and Guam Department of Labor, educate members on best practices and industry news, and improve communications while creating new programs and services with its members. GHRA has helped the industry grow! Guam’s tourism has seen arrivals exceed 1.5 million visitors, on-island spending average $1,150 per person, Hotel Occupancy Tax collect $37 million, and Gross Receipts Tax grow more than $50 million.
