American Hotel & Lodging Association Releases Statement on 2024 Elections

“We congratulate President Trump on his historic victory. AHLA looks forward to working with the Trump-Vance administration and lawmakers of both parties at every level of government to keep the hotel industry – and the many thousands of small businesses and employees that power it – moving forward.”

“The hotel industry is an economic powerhouse for the U.S. economy. AHLA’s overall advocacy goals are to advance public policies that support and enable the industry’s long-term growth potential and protect hoteliers’ bottom lines. Through educating elected officials on the industry’s economic contribution and job-creating power, we seek an environment in which hotel professionals can focus on running and growing their businesses rather than confronting onerous laws and harmful policies. That means supporting business-friendly tax rates and policies to expand the workforce, fighting regulatory overreach, protecting the hotel franchise model from government interference, and ensuring a level playing field for hotels and short-term rentals. AHLA is committed to working with elected officials and policy makers in both parties in pursuit of these crucial priorities.”

American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), the largest hotel association in the United States with over 30,000 members spanning iconic global brands, 80% of franchised hotels, and the nation’s 16 largest hotel companies, has released a statement regarding the 2024 elections. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., AHLA is dedicated to advancing the hotel industry through strategic advocacy, effective communication, and workforce development programs, driving progress across all industry segments nationwide.
