FEDHASA

The FEDHASA Hospitality Awards are about more than recognising excellence on the night. For Jeff Down from Stayntouch, they are also an opportunity for hospitality professionals to come together, learn from one another, and celebrate the people whose work often happens behind the scenes. Thank you to Stayntouch for supporting the FEDHASA Hospitality Awards and for recognising the contribution of the people who don't always find themselves in the spotlight. #FEDHASAHospitalityAwards #HospitalityIndustry #StayNtouch

Every delay costs more than time. Late arrivals, inefficient routes, and unnecessary mileage all impact service delivery and cost. Smarter fleet management helps you:  - Optimise routes across multiple vehicles  - Reduce idle time and wasted fuel  - Keep transfers running on schedule Because in hospitality, smooth operations aren’t a bonus, they’re expected.

FEDHASA KZN & Eastern Cape General Manager Jaya Naidoo has volunteered to serve on a proposed multi-sector task team that would address the impact of current measures to combat illegal immigration on KwaZulu-Natal's tourism and film sectors. The task team was put forward during a stakeholder engagement hosted by the KZN Tourism & Film Authority and Durban Tourism. FEDHASA National Chairperson Brett Tungay joined the meeting virtually, while Jaya attended in person. The discussion focused on how immigration laws can be enforced without harming KwaZulu-Natal's tourism economy or its reputation as a welcoming destination. The task team will provide an important platform for industry collaboration, and FEDHASA is committed to ensuring the hospitality sector has a voice in these discussions. #FEDHASA #TheVoiceofHospitality
