About Us

RI Hospitality Association | RI Hospitality Education Foundation:
Voice of Rhode Island's Lodging, Restaurant and Tourism Industry

As the official trade group of the foodservice, lodging, restaurant, and tourism industries, the RI Hospitality Association was formed for the purpose of developing and providing programs, services, and support to our members by protecting their interests, promoting industry partnerships, and providing education and leadership such that members receive a definable return on their investment. RI Hospitality’s partners provide many benefits to our members, including discounts and educational services needed to help keep the hospitality and foodservice industries running smoothly.

The RI Hospitality Association has also made a serious commitment to the education of future career holders in the hospitality and foodservice industries with the formation of a strong Education Foundation. The Education Foundation was formed with the purpose of encouraging individuals to embark on a career in the foodservice and hospitality industries in the state of Rhode Island. The Education Foundation is showing tremendous growth in the field by way of strong education initiatives with the help of customer service and food safety training programs.
