The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), hoteliers, and other hospitality stakeholders met with more than 25 New Jersey legislators in Trenton, N.J., Monday to caution that legislation under consideration in the Garden State would drive hotels out of the state and destroy thousands of jobs.
American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) President & CEO Chip Rogers released the following statement today after the New Jersey Assembly Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance approved legislation that would destroy the hotel industry’s franchise model. The bill (A3495) is now awaiting further Assembly action, and companion legislation (S2336) has been introduced in the Senate.
The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA) issues the following statement on today’s passage by the U.S. House of Representatives of the Government Spending Accountability Act of 2013 (H.R. 313):
'The legislative recommendations issued today by the Administration, particularly in the areas of off-the-shelf use protections and steps to curb frivolous lawsuits, would provide significant protection to hotels, resorts, and inns across the county'
I remember in my early days of management someone relating discipline to a red hot poker. If you touch a red hot poker you know you will get burnt. The harder you touch it the more it will burn. The poker does not discriminate; anyone who touches it gets burnt. It burns straight away so conditions you not to keep touching it.
