LOS ANGELES, CA, OCTOBER 21, 2024 — AAHOA (Asian American Hotel Owners Association), representing 1,165 hotel owners in the Greater Los Angeles Area, voiced strong opposition to the Los Angeles City Council's proposed minimum wage increase for hotel workers, which would raise wages to $30 per hour, along with an additional $8 per hour for healthcare. AAHOA maintains that a recent economic impact study supporting this measure is fundamentally flawed, inaccurately concluding that the hotel industry can absorb such a drastic increase.

ATLANTA, GA, September 10, 2024—The Los Angeles City Council recognized AAHOA (Asian American Hotel Owners Association), the largest hotel owners association in the world, with "AAHOA Day" on Wednesday, September 4, in acknowledgment of the association's pivotal role as entrepreneurs, job creators, and contributors in the Greater Los Angeles Area.
