San Leandro India West:
The Independent Lodging Industry Association was officially launched nationally this month and named Bobbie Singh-Allen to serve as its executive director.
The association’s goals are to promote, protect and advance the interests of independent lodging owners and their management teams, and to provide a network of resources to support member efficiency, profitability and professionalism.
With nearly 1,000 members across the country ILIA’s mission is to provide an outlet to small business, and independent hoteliers in all states to have representation in Washington, D.C. and their state capitol. It promotes consumer choice in the travel industry and supports the free-market against attempts to limit competition.
“Fair franchising laws, burdensome tax regulations, transient occupancy taxes, and many other issues are decided in halls of the state capitols from Sacramento to Tallahassee, and Atlanta to Albany. ILIA will help level that playing field,†Singh-Allen stated in a press release.
