WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN!

The Hillsborough County Hotel/Lodging Association is organized to unify, promote, and strengthen the lodging industry in Hillsborough County.

Friendship & Standards

The Association promotes friendships and understanding among its members, as well as high professional and ethical standards within the industry.

The Association encourages the development of ideas and projects that will benefit the community at large and will publicly advocate official positions on issues of mutual interest to members.

Information & Guidance

The Association closely monitors local and state legislative issues, while seeking to strengthen the industry through hospitality, education and scholarship programs.

Making your property more profitable - need we say more? Whether it’s a new vendor at a more reasonable cost, or to discuss cost-savings operations, only the HCHLA provides you with an inventory of information which others can only hope to obtain and/or provide.

Three other reasons

  • First, the HCHLA has become a leader in local governmental affairs affecting the lodging industry. Your participation in the Association is needed to make our leadership stronger and more effective.
  • Second, the HCHLA is a major contributor to the Hillsborough County tourist economy and with your assistance will continue to work to increase the public awareness of the industry’s economic and civic contribution to the community.
  • Third, the HCHLA has refined its annual members-only data collection symposium – our Trends and Forecasting Forum. Not only do you get solid national, state and local occupancy and industry trends, but also have that data available for your staff’s review and utilization.
