For those who are keen on staying informed about the latest happenings in the hospitality industry, the upcoming October issue is an absolute must-read. This edition showcases a strong emphasis on AAHOA's advocacy initiatives and how they are contributing towards the betterment of legislation that may have an impact on hoteliers. It is an incredibly informative piece that is bound to offer valuable insights and knowledge for all professionals involved in this field.
AAHOA's HerOwnership: Opening Doors for Women in Hospitality initiative made a significant impact at the 2023 AAHOA Convention & Trade Show, with scores of women attending "Landslide Victory," the official HerOwnership session at AAHOACON23. The President and Owner of The Communications Coach, LLC, Denise Thomas, led the powerful “Landslide Victory” presentation. She focused on motivation, engagement, business strategies, relationship building, communication, and leadership techniques.

For generations, the franchising model has helped thousands of AAHOA hotelier members achieve the American Dream of running their own business. Franchisees get the chance to run their hotel businesses with the financial resources and recognizable brand name of a franchisor. But, for too long, corporate franchisors have taken advantage of the hardworking people on the front lines of their businesses.
That is why AAHOA is at the forefront of advocating for legislation in New Jersey, Assembly Bill 1958, that will ensure greater fairness in the franchising system for our hotel owner members. The New Jersey Assembly passed the bill in May handily by 41-28-2. It now awaits action by the New Jersey Senate before it can become law.
This legislation is in line with our Four Core Pillars of Franchise Advocacy to reform rules involving mandated vendors, rebates, loyalty programs, and new fees. But the groundbreaking nature of this bill is why allies of corporate franchisors, and their lobbying association - or what we refer to as "Big Lodging" - are spreading disinformation to uphold a one-sided and frequently rigged system.
Contrary to the four "problems" identified by Big Lodging in a recent September LODGING magazine article, we want to set the record straight with the facts about exactly what this NJ franchise bill will accomplish.

"As a newcomer to the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) Upper Midwest Regional Conference & Trade Show, I felt deeply honored and exhilarated by the warm reception extended to me by its leadership Bharat Patel. AAHOA stands as the world's largest association for hotel owners, with its members boasting ownership of more than half of all hotels in the United States. Given my current pursuit in the realm of hotel ownership, I find immense value in having an association like AAHOA that provides guidance and support along this intricate journey. #AAHOA"

Truist Securities reports, “Overall U.S. RevPAR was +5.4% y/y for the week ending 9/30/2023, per STR, above the prior week's result of +1.2%, and above the trailing 10-week average of +1.9%. Versus 2019, RevPAR was +18.7%, above the prior week’s result of +15.4% and above the trailing 10-week average of +14.1%. Even though Yom Kippur negatively impacted demand at the start of the week, overall midweek business travel was quite decent in our view. Comps vs. 2019 and 2022 were easy (Rosh Hashanah both on the same week Sunday-Tuesday in the prior years). Comps should be even easier next week as 2023 lacks a holiday and Yom Kippur was midweek in 2019/2022. Upscale RevPAR: +6.8% y/y and +14.1% vs. 2019; Upper Midscale RevPAR: +2.7% y/y and +17.6% vs. 2019.” For more, read the full report here.
