It was created in 1987 as by the management professionals and resort hotel owners. Additionally, it is a non-profit insurance association, which specialize in insurance programs designed specifically to face the challenges and cover risks unique to historic and luxury resorts, spas and independent destinations. Established as a response to rates increase and insurance availability reduction by the constricted insurance market, the organization pays considerable attention to the convenience and comfortability.

Since its establishment, the Association of Hotels and Resorts has successfully provided its members with competitive pricing and broad  coverage, determined by financially stable insurance companies. Currently more than 120 independently owned hotel properties and resorts are members of the Association, which allows them to achieve significant discounts on insurance-related issues. The Association of Hotels and Resorts has adhered to its mission to provide owners of independent resorts and hotel properties with top quality cost-effective and stable insurance to protect them from the financial loss. The Association can assist its customers in marketing their workshops or promotions by developing a page on their web sites and posting a response form.

With such an ambitious agenda and commitment to its members, it’s no wonder that the organization is so well received and supported worldwide.
