AAHOA North Pacific Ambassador Niraj Dhanani recently welcomed California State Assembly Member Stephanie Nguyen to a Marriott property in Elk Grove, CA, for an insightful Back of the House Tour.
During the visit, they discussed key issues impacting the hospitality industry, including ADA laws and compliance, the rising costs of insurance and labor, and homelessness in the community. The tour offered a firsthand look at hotel operations and the challenges owners face in maintaining safe, compliant, and sustainable businesses.
These conversations are a crucial step toward fostering understanding between policymakers and hoteliers, ensuring that local leaders recognize the direct impact of legislative and economic shifts on small business owners across California.
