“We provide education, advocacy, and philanthropy to the hospitality industry!”
Actions by government have an impact on your business. That’s why the mission of the Hawai‘i Lodging & Tourism Association is to “provide education, advocacy, and philanthropy to the hospitality industry,” with an emphasis on serving as an effective advocate for our members with the federal, state, and county governments and providing educational opportunities, timely information, and appropriate resources to legislators, public officials, the news media, and community.
Member involvement is vital to the continued success of the visitor industry. Your active participation in the legislative process influences and shapes public policy.
We achieve our goals by speaking as a united voice, working with government and community leaders on common goals, and through the HotelPAC, our non-profit, bi-partisan political action committee that helps elect qualified individuals who recognize the importance of the hotel industry.

5th Annual Tourism Day at the Capitol
Mahalo to each and every one of you who had a hand in making this year's Tourism Day a standout success! We had record attendance numbers for both our visitors as well as our exhibitors. Sixty-eight organizations from all corners of Hawai'i's tourism sector manned 80 different booths on the fourth floor of the Hawai'i State Capitol and really showed the diversity that our industry has to offer. It was a sight to see so many of our legislators who attended Tourism Day during their recess interacting with our exhibitors.
A special mahalo to Duke's Waikiki and ABC Store for providing breakfast and bentos for all those who participated in Tourism Day as well as to HTA and HVCB for their collaborative partnership!
