The Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) weighed in on the ongoing partial government shutdown: “Fortunately, previous funding measures ensure that government agencies vital to our industry will continue to operate without significant interruption,” according to AAHOA President/CEO. “For AAHOA members who own properties around national parks, and who typically feel the effects of a shutdown immediately, most of the National Parks Service will remain open, although visitor centers and administrative offices may be closed. AAHOA supports a quick resolution to this situation, and our team in Washington will continue to monitor these developments closely.”
