The U.S. travel sector is facing challenges as the expected rebound in Chinese tourism is delayed. Experts suggest it could take at least two more years to reach pre-pandemic levels. This delay, caused by slow economic growth and high travel costs in China, has significant implications for U.S. hotels, affecting revenue and profitability.

One of AAHOA’s media partners, TV Asia, produced and aired a series of videos covering AAHOACON24.

Helped by the total solar eclipse, U.S. hotel performance increased from the previous week, according to CoStar’s latest data through 13 April.

AAHOA is a proud media partner of Hospitality Design for its HDExpo + Conference, the premier event for hospitality design enthusiasts, set to take place from April 30 to May 2 at the iconic Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV.

The AAHOA Regional Conferences & Trade Shows are getting a makeover! Now called AAHOA Hotel Owners Conferences & Trade Shows, AAHOA has reimagined these events from the ground up. These changes will bring fresh new ideas and opportunities for current and prospective AAHOA Members.
