Together

Better business. Better Zanzibar.

HAZ has a new identity: three letters under one roof, with a Zanzibar door at its heart, and one idea behind everything we do.

A hotel is only as strong as the island around it. Stronger hotels build a stronger Zanzibar, and a stronger Zanzibar builds stronger hotels.

That idea now sits behind everything HAZ says and does, summed up in four words: Better business. Better Zanzibar. Good business and a better island are the same goal, with equal weight.

The new logo places three letters under one roof. The roof forms the A of HAZ and shelters a Mlango, the carved double door of Zanzibar. It is the most recognisable craft of Stone Town, and the threshold of every home. For an association of hotels, it is the entrance to hospitality itself.

Four pillars

Every HAZ programme sits under one of four pillars and shows its link to the others:

  • People: Zanzibaris build careers, not just jobs, in hospitality.
  • Place: reefs, beaches, Stone Town and culture protected for the next generation.
  • Prosperity: hotels are profitable, investment is confident and more of the money stays in Zanzibar.
  • Together: no hotel can fix the island’s challenges alone. Together we can.
