About Us

An incorporated not-for-profit organization, Hospitality Saint John Inc. is the voice of the hospitality industry in Greater Saint John.

An initiative and successful partnership of industry members for nearly 20 years, HSJ has long been an example of industry cooperation envied by other regions and industry groups.

As a venue for networking, mentoring and promoting an industry agenda to government and the community, HSJ is a valuable resource for both industry veterans and newcomers.

With a membership roster representing accommodations, food & beverage, facilities & attractions, travel service providers, government partners, key suppliers and others, the Association provides a ready opportunity for building and developing relationships crucial to the success of individual members and the industry as a whole.

In addition to nurturing positive relationships with media and government contacts which ensure that our voice is heard, HSJ also promotes industry interests through a number of special projects. Tourism Awareness Week focuses public attention of the vital contribution hospitality businesses make to the local economy and the Greater Saint John Tourism Awards provides us the opportunity to recognize and promote our many noteworthy success stories.
