Every day in communities across America, hotel employees play a key role in some of Americans’ most important life events – from wedding receptions to family reunions and vacations.


Hotel employees keep guests safe, give back to their communities, and are critical to keeping our nation’s nearly $2 trillion travel and tourism industry running smoothly.


The hotel industry is a vibrant, innovative, and dynamic business.


Before the pandemic, hotels supported 1 in 25 American jobs and generated $186 billion in federal, state, and local taxes each year. Read more.
