April 29, 2013 - AH&LA applauds the Senate for taking swift action to eliminate furloughs for air traffic controllers and stop the widespread delays recently seen at airports across the country. The Senate recognized that these delays had the potential for a devastating impact on the public, the travel industry - including very direct consequences on hotels and lodging - and ultimately the U.S. economy.

We urge members of the House to act quickly to pass this critical legislation to protect American jobs, and the President to sign it immediately.

Serving the hospitality industry for over a century, the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA) is the sole national association representing all sectors and stakeholders in the lodging industry, including individual hotel property members, hotel companies, student and faculty members, and industry suppliers. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., AH&LA provides members with national advocacy on Capitol Hill, public relations and image management, education, research and information, and other value-added services to provide bottom-line savings and ensure a positive business climate for the lodging industry. Partner state associations provide local representation and additional cost-saving benefits to members.
