AH&LA'S ADVOCACY EFFORTS HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT STRIDES PROMOTING THE LODGING INDUSTRY TO CONGRESS, THE ADMINISTRATION AND STATE AND LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS.THE ISSUES THAT IMPACT OUR HOTELS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES FOCUS ON KEY AREAS AND ARE UPDATED BASED ON EMERGING PRIORITIES. THEY INCLUDE: TECHNOLOGY AND DISTRIBUTION, COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY ON SHORT-TERM RENTAL PLATFORMS, WORKFORCE, AND TRAVEL AND TOURISM PROMOTION.ON TECHNOLOGY AND DISTRIBUTION: THE HOTEL INDUSTRY IS RAPIDLY INNOVATING AND EXPANDING OFFERINGS TO BETTER SERVE GUESTS AND THIS REMAINS AN IMPORTANT FOCUS OF THE ASSOCIATION. AS TECHNOLOGY AND EVER-EVOLVING ONLINE DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS TRANSFORM THE WAY GUESTS BOOK THEIR HOTEL ROOMS, THE INDUSTRY CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON EDUCATING CONSUMERS ON HOW TO PROTECT THEIR RESERVATIONS AND ENSURE THEIR EXPERIENCES ARE WHAT THEY INTENDED. IN 2015, AH&LA SPEARHEADED A MEDIA OUTREACH CAMPAIGN HIGHLIGHTING THE MISLEADING AND DECEPTIVE PRACTICES PERPETRATED BY ROGUE ONLINE BOOKING WEBSITES. THIS PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN RESULTED IN THE SUPPORT OF OTHER CONSUMER GROUPS INCLUDING, THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, AAA, AND THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION (FTC) ISSUED ALERTS WARNING CONSUMERS ABOUT THESE SCAMS. MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ALSO WROTE LETTERS TO THE FTC ENCOURAGING THE AGENCY TO INVESTIGATE THIS ONLINE BOOKING SCAM.IN ADDITION, FOLLOWING THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PROPOSED EXPEDIA ACQUISITION OF ORBITZ, AH&LA TOOK A PUBLIC STANCE IN OPPOSITION TO THE MERGER AND EDUCATED THE PUBLIC, THE PRESS AND POLICYMAKERS ABOUT DETRIMENTAL AFFECTS THE ACQUISITION COULD HAVE ON CONSUMERS, BY RESTRICTING CHOICE AND COMPETITION AND HARMING SMALL AND INDEPENDENT HOTEL OWNERS WHO MAKE UP NEARLY HALF OF THE HOTEL INDUSTRY. ON COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY FOSTERED BY SHORT-TERM RENTAL PLATFORMS: AH&LA LED A MULTI-TIERED ADVOCACY STRATEGY TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD AGAIN ILLEGAL SHORT-TERM RENTALS AT THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS. THE ASSOCIATION CREATED AND DISTRIBUTED A TOOLKIT TO OUR MEMBERS AND PARTNERS, PROVIDING TALKING POINTS, GRASSROOTS ENGAGEMENT AND LEGISLATIVE OPTIONS TO EMPLOY ON THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL. ADDITIONALLY, AH&LA JOINED THE DEMOCRATIC ATTORNEYS GENERAL ASSOCIATION AND THE REPUBLICAN ATTORNEYS GENERAL ASSOCIATION TO EDUCATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ON THIS ISSUE AND THEIR ROLE IN ENFORCING EXISTING LAWS. AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, AH&LA WORKED TO INFORM KEY CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS AND COMMITTEES, AS WELL AS THE FTC, ON THE NEED FOR A LEVEL AND LEGAL PLAYING FIELD IN THE WAKE OF THE EMERGENCE OF ILLEGAL SHORT-TERM RENTALS. THESE ACTIVITIES INCLUDED PARTICIPATION ON A PANEL AT A FTC WORKSHOP THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT FEDERAL EXAMINATION OF THE "SHARING ECONOMY". WE ARE ALSO PARTNERING WITH A BROAD-BASED COALITION THAT INCLUDES BED AND BREAKFAST ORGANIZATIONS, LABOR, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS AND MEMBERS OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND EDUCATING MEDIA NATIONALLY AND LOCALLY ON THE NEGATIVE IMPACT CAUSED BY THE PROLIFERATION OF UNREGULATED, COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY.ON SUPPORTING THE HOTEL INDUSTRY WORKFORCE: OUR EFFORTS AIM TO ENSURE HOTELIERS, INCLUDING MANY SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, CAN GROW AND PRESERVE THE JOB GROWTH THAT IS SO CENTRAL TO LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL ECONOMIES. FIGHTING DISCRIMINATORY WAGE ORDINANCES THAT UNFAIRLY TARGET THE LODGING INDUSTRY EXCLUSIVELY WERE A TOP PRIORITY IN 2015. FRONT AND CENTER TO THESE EFFORTS WAS OUR ACTION RELATED TO THE HOTEL-ONLY WAGE ORDINANCE IN LOS ANGELES. AH&LA AND THE ASIAN AMERICAN HOTEL OWNERS ASSOCIATION (AAHOA) FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES IN DECEMBER 2014. OUR CHIEF CONCERN WAS NOT ABOUT WAGES BUT ABOUT UPENDING THE CAREFULLY BALANCED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LABOR AND MANAGEMENT BY ALLOWING LABOR TO WAIVE THE WAGES AT UNIONIZED PROPERTIES. THOUGH AH&LA AND AAHOA MADE THE DECISION TO APPEAL AFTER THE COURT DENIED OUR MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION, AH&LA CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON UTILIZING TARGETED OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE THE HOTEL INDUSTRY'S PERSPECTIVE ON THIS DISCRIMINATORY ORDINANCE. IN RECENT YEARS, MANY WORKFORCE AND LABOR INITIATIVES AT THE LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL LEVEL HAVE THREATENED BUSINESS AND JOB GROWTH, INCLUDING THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD (NLRB) BROWNING FERRIS INDUSTRIES (BFI) DECISION THAT RESULTED IN A NEW, AMBIGUOUS "JOINT EMPLOYER" STANDARD THAT MAKES EMPLOYERS POTENTIALLY LIABLE FOR ACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES OF EMPLOYEES THAT THEY DO NOT EMPLOY. AS A RESULT, IT JEOPARDIZES BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIPS. AH&LA WORKED CLOSELY WITH LEADERS IN BOTH THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE UNITED STATES SENATE TO PROVIDE OUR INDUSTRY'S PERSPECTIVE AND THE DIFFICULTIES THIS DECISION WILL HAVE ON SMALL BUSINESSES AND FRANCHISE OWNERS. AH&LA ALSO CO-CHAIRS THE COALITION TO SAVE LOCAL BUSINESSES, WHICH IS A BROAD-BASED COALITION OF SMALL BUSINESSES AND ASSOCIATIONS THAT AIM TO EDUCATE KEY CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS ON THE NEED FOR CHANGE.ON TRAVEL AND TOURISM PROMOTION: AH&LA WORKS WITH OUR PARTNERS TO EXPAND TOURISM PROMOTION AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR TRAVELERS TO OBTAIN VISAS SO THEY CAN VISIT AND EXPERIENCE AMERICA AS THEY CONTRIBUTE TO LOCAL ECONOMIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. TRAVEL AND TOURISM SUPPORTS ONE IN NINE AMERICAN JOBS AND CONTRIBUTES $141.5 BILLION IN FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES GOING TOWARDS VALUABLE PROGRAMS IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AH&LA ALSO CO-CHAIRS THE H-2B WORKFORCE COALITION, WHICH SUPPORTS THE H-2B VISA PROGRAM SO BUSINESSES CAN SUPPLEMENT THEIR WORKFORCE WITH TEMPORARY SEASONAL EMPLOYEES IF NO AMERICAN WORKERS ARE AVAILABLE. IN ADDITION, AH&LA CONTINUES TO WORK WITH THE GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS TO ENSURE PER DIEM RATES REMAIN SUSTAINABLE. INDUSTRY RELATIONS: HELPING STUDENTS ACHIEVE THE AMERICAN DREAM AND FINANCE THEIR FUTURE, THE ASSOCIATION CONTINUES TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO STUDENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY. THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUTH AND THE NEXT GENERATION OF HOTEL EMPLOYEES IS CENTRAL TO THE ASSOCIATION. IN 2015, AH&LEF AWARDED ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS TO 380 PROMISING HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT STUDENTS ATTENDING 98 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ADDITIONALLY, 16 HOTEL EMPLOYEES RECEIVED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SCHOLARSHIPS FOR CERTIFICATION AND DISTANCE LEARNING.

THESE COMMITTEES INCLUDE: RESORT, SUSTAINABILITY, AND INDUSTRY ADVOCACY. COMMITTEES AND CONTRIBUTIONS: HELPING STUDENTS ACHIEVE THE AMERICAN DREAM AND FINANCE THEIR FUTURE, THE ASSOCIATION CONTINUES TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO STUDENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY. THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUTH AND THE NEXT GENERATION OF HOTEL EMPLOYEES IS CENTRAL TO THE ASSOCIATION. IN 2015, THE ASSOCIATION CONTRIBUTED $745,000 IN INDUSTRY-RELATED SCHOLARSHIPS, THROUGH ITS FOUNDATION, THE AMERICAN HOTEL & LODGING EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION. THESE SCHOLARSHIPS HELP PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED RESOURCES TO STUDENTS WHO SEEK A LIFE-LONG CAREER IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY.

THE FOUNDATION ALSO INVESTS IN INSTRUMENTAL INDUSTRY RESEARCH, PROVIDING $278,000 COVERING SUCH ISSUES AS LODGING TAX RATES, COMMUNITY IMPACT OF HOTELS, AND THE IMPACT OF SHORT-TERM ONLINE RENTALS.AH&LA HAS SIX COUNCILS THAT PROVIDE MEMBERS WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR NETWORKING AND INFORMATION AND IDEA SHARING WITH COLLEAGUES FROM THEIR SPECIFIC INDUSTRY SEGMENTS.
