Background
The phenomenal growth in the bed and breakfast industry has led to the formation of the Bed and Breakfast Association of South Africa (BABASA). Bed & breakfast establishments have increased from approximately 300 in 1993 to an estimated 30 000 in 2004. BABASA was established to unite the industry nationwide. Individual establishments and associations were often unable to attain their full potential in matters such as national advertising, national networking, collective bargaining, representation at national level, staff training and other matters which could contribute to the running of a more efficient and financially sound venture.
