About HAZ, in approved words
Use as written. Name: "Hotel Association Zanzibar (HAZ)" on first mention, then "HAZ".
Hotel Association Zanzibar (HAZ) is the association of Zanzibar's hotels, working together for better business and a better Zanzibar.

Founded in June 2021 by professional hoteliers, HAZ provides member benefits, market intelligence and industry representation, while measuring the sector's contribution to Zanzibar's people, environment and economy.
