The RHA Story
The Resort Hotel Association was organized in 1987 by a group of resort owners and managers to develop and administer Insurance Products and Risk Management Services customized to the needs of the resort industry. RHA’s focus is on meeting the collective interests of our Members.
As hoteliers, we understand the unique hospitality exposures of an independently operated property and we work to protect the assets of our Membership. While we represent a collection of properties across North America, RHA remains dedicated to the Risk Management of each individual Member.
Vision
To be the first choice among independent hospitality properties for risk management services and insurance products
