More Than 200 Hoteliers To Lobby U.S. Congress For Hotel And Consumer Friendly Policies

More Than 200 Hoteliers To Lobby U.S. Congress For Hotel And Consumer Friendly Policies

The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) this week is hosting its annual Hotels on the Hill fly-in event, which will draw more than 200 hoteliers and industry leaders from 36 states to Capitol Hill to lobby for a variety of important policies.

The Sept. 24-25 event will include meetings with members and staff from more than 150 House and Senate offices.

America’s nearly 64,000 hotels are a bright spot for America’s economy and include more than 33,000 small businesses. The hotel industry supports nearly 1 in 25 American jobs, and in 2024, hotels are projected to pay employees a record $123 billion in wages, salaries, and other compensation while generating nearly $83.4 billion in tax revenue.

To maintain these positive economic contributions in communities across the nation, hoteliers are calling on lawmakers to:

“Nothing is more effective at shaping public policy for our industry than when hoteliers and their employees tell their stories directly to legislators,” said AHLA Interim President & CEO Kevin Carey. “From tax policies that promote small business growth, to expanding the hotel workforce, to challenging burdensome regulations, there’s no limit to what hoteliers can achieve when we’re united and speak with one voice. Hotels on the Hill gives us a unique opportunity to do just that.”
