Benefits

Welcome to the benefits of being a member, with our current offering.

Please always feel free to feedback if you have any ideas for the future.

A Members Organisation, such as the EHA, aims to deliver as many benefits to all tiers of membership, with the aspiration of giving a greater return on investment (ROI) than the membership fee.

It has been our goal to increase benefits and your Exec Committee is still working on added benefits and will continue to do so.

Current Benefits:

• Ability to have ‘local’ inspections (accommodation)
• Member Passport discount card - giving discounts over a multitude of businesses for your annual membership
• Discounted rates for Visit Eastbourne Guide & Web
• Primary Authority Membership – covering EHO, Fire and Trading Standards consultations
• Personal Representation for any business-related issues which we will endeavour to resolve to the members benefit
• Recommended Trade members, with Special offers.
• Representation at a local, regional, and national level
• Social Events
• A seat on the board for the development of the Eden Project
• A seat on the board with the joint co-operation of Eastbourne Borough Council, Chamber of Commerce, Visit Eastbourne, the BID and MP (where appropriate)
• Enhanced communications in the event of an incident or national crisis

Aspired future Benefits:

1. Pushing for 5% VAT for our industry – Nigel Huddleston MP is now the Tourism Minister and he is a supporter of this initiative and he should be visiting Eastbourne for a 1:1 in the near future
2. Reducing commissions from Visit Eastbourne due to our investment and partnership
3. Ring fencing revenues into Visit Eastbourne for future tourism projects to benefit members and visitors
4. Further expansion with increased membership and revenues to commence other tourism related projects as voted and consulted on by you, the members.
