Its strength is derived from the combined energies of its 110 members representing hotels, time share resorts, casinos, restaurants, attractions, car rental companies, special events experts.

Additional and extensive support is received from its members representing professional services from the financial, accounting, legal, educational and training sector as well as a variety of retail and supplier companies.

The core purpose of AHATA is to achieve sustainable growth for the aruba tourism industry.

Its goals include a commitment to:

1. Be recognized as THE principle marketing advocate for the Aruba tourism industry.
2. Be its' members' primary resource for quality and professional programs and business services.
3. Be the public policy lobbyist for its membership.
4. Be the leader in facilitating the development of Aruba's National Tourism Strategic Plan influencing a multiplicity of issues affecting tourism.

Other charter members included Chaiban Neme of The Strand Hotel, George Camara, Basi Ruti Hotel, Jan van Gijn Sr. of the Hotel Scala and Michael Kuiperi of the Aruba Tourism Board.

In the early years, the association included hotels exclusively and there was no administrative office or headquarters.
In the late 1970's, the association was expanded to include other tourism related businesses and the AHA became the Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association (AHATA) and a more expanded organization. The AHA was one of the first members of the newly formed Caribbean Hotel Association (1964). The CHA originated from a commission of the private sector within the Caribbean Tourism Association (CTA) which today is known as the Caribbean Tourism Organization.

During the AHATA's most recent history, the organization has grown to become recognized as Aruba's dominant tourism voice on behalf of the private sector. It enjoys broad support from the entire community and has established a unique partnership with the other private sector trade organizations uniting together to present historic and ongoing dialogue on a wide spectrum of relevant issues dealing with Aruba's economic growth and quality tourism development.

Founded on September 14, 1965, the Aruba Hotel Association (AHA) was formed by a group of hotel pioneers interested in fostering the development and diversification of the Aruban economy with tourism.
