Congratulations to the Greater Los Angeles Area & South Pacific Hotel Owners Conference on a spectacular start to the year! With over 750 attendees, the event raised an impressive $50,000+ for our collective PAC and welcomed 10 new lifetime members to the AAHOA family. The HYPE and HerOwnership event that followed was also a tremendous success.

The North Pacific event was equally successful. Among the attendees were Alex Bastian, President and CEO of the Hotel Council of San Francisco, and Dr. K. Srikar Reddy, Consul General of India in San Francisco. Dr. Reddy noted in his remarks that he appreciated AAHOA's considerable impact on the US economy and its efforts to strengthen trade relations between the USA and India, especially in the hospitality sector.

We are incredibly proud of everyone’s efforts and contributions. Special thanks to AAHOA Greater Los Angeles Area and South Pacific Regional Directors Naresh (ND) and Nilesh (Neil) Bhakta, respectively, Young Professionals Director Western Division Tanmay Patel, Women Hoteliers Director Western Division Shetal Zina Patel, Women Hoteliers Director Eastern Division Purnima Patel, and North Pacific Regional Director Ankit Panchal for their dedication and hard work in making these events unforgettable.

A heartfelt thank you to the California Hotel and Lodging Association, our partner for both of these Conferences and Trade Shows.

The two events had over 1,000 attendees and welcomed 15 new AAHOA Members. AAHOA looks forward to the continued success of the Hotel Owners Conferences & Trade Shows over the next several months.
