Just as designing a hotel’s aesthetic is essential to attracting guests, designing and defining a brand is essential to our association’s advocacy goals.
Our brand is all about the story of advancing the American Dream of entrepreneurship.
AAHOA has a proud history of breaking down barriers for generations of Asian Americans who have played a transformative role in America’s hotel industry.
AAHOA now represents nearly 20,000 hoteliers across the U.S., making us the largest hotel owners association in the world. Our more than 34,000 member-owned hotels with more than 1 million employees represent a significant part of the U.S. economy.
From defending free and fair franchising to strengthening our hotel workforce as the pandemic recedes from daily life, AAHOA has positioned itself as the voice of small-business hotel owners.
Your success is our success. Together, we will be working to continue designing an American story that lifts up AAHOA Members, their hotels, and their contributions to our industry.
We are standing behind groundbreaking New Jersey legislation that would advance several key principles of transparency and fairness to sustain a mutually beneficial relationship between franchisors and franchisees.
We are urging federal policymakers in Washington to consider the ramifications of proposed changes to rules governing franchisors to ensure that hotels and other small businesses are treated fairly.
AAHOA is successfully rallying for local governments to maintain oversight of short-term rentals to ensure a level playing field for hotels. We also are pursuing legislation to clarify that occupants of hotels, motels, or similar lodging, do not have tenancy rights until they have stayed more than 90 consecutive days. This promotes certainty and safety for all concerning the rights and responsibilities of the hoteliers and their guests.
We ultimately are pursuing these goals to design an environment that reduces the economic obstacles for small-business hotel owners.
That, in turn, will further help AAHOA members build and design hotels that are attractive to guests.
As leaders in the hospitality industry, we must ensure we are at the forefront of not only policy advocacy but promoting a positive environment for hoteliers to thrive.
That is why AAHOA’s leadership is dedicated to advocating for small-business hotel owners’ interests in Washington and states across the country.
But, we are only as strong as our members. AAHOA’s voice is only strong because of our hoteliers’ contributions to their communities, and by extension, the nation’s economy.
Your success is our success. Together, we will be working to continue designing an American story that lifts up AAHOA Members, their hotels, and their contributions to our industry.
