Izba Gospodarcza Hotelarstwa Polskiego, commonly shortened to IGHP, is a trade body for Poland's hotel and catering businesses. It represents members before local, regional, national and European authorities. Its [published remit](https://www.ighp.pl/ighp/o-izbie) includes lobbying, participation in legislative work and support for members' legal and commercial initiatives.
The organisation began in November 2003 under the name Izba Gospodarcza – Polskie Zrzeszenie Hoteli. It took its current name in March 2007 and became a HOTREC member in 2015, according to its [institutional history](https://www.ighp.pl/aktualnosci/szczegoly-aktualnosci?NewsID=30000). That history places regulatory representation alongside cooperation within the hospitality sector. Statements issued by the chamber express an industry position; they are not decisions by a regulator or a court.
