AAA NSW board

THE Accommodation Association of Australia (AAA) has this week launched the New South Wales State Advisory Board to better support business growth in NSW.

“The Accommodation Association’s NSW Advisory Board continues our initiative to ensure the interests of state-based members are more specifically addressed,” said the Association’s CEO, Richard Munro.

The chair of the board is Doma Group’s Patrick Lonergan and members include Scott Boyes, AccorHotels; Damien Cameron, The Star Entertainment Group; Matt Rubie, Frasers Hospitality Australia; Scott Boyes, AccorHotels and Emma Waterman, TFE Hotels.

HOTELIER Jerry Schwartz has taken a major shareholding in FAN+, a sporting and entertainment startup that was selected to be part of Qantas’ AVRO Accelerator program.

The program provided the opportunity to work with Qantas to develop, incubate and scale the business.

FAN+ offers unique experiences including change room visits with the Sydney Kings and former NBA heavyweight Andrew Bogut, personalised music video recording sessions with Justice Crew or playing a round of golf with a sporting legend.

Pictured are Rob Marcolina, Head of Innovation Qantas; Aaron Warburton, Co-Founder FAN+; Alan Joyce, CEO Qantas; and Rod Harys, Co-Founder FAN+.
