AAHOA Southeast Texas Regional Director Bhavik Patel recently hosted a Back of the House Tour at his Comfort Inn & Suites with City of Houston District G Council Member Mary Nan Huffman.
During the visit, they discussed key local issues affecting the hospitality industry, including concerns about short-term rentals and law enforcement matters that impact hotel owners across the region.
Patel emphasized the importance of continued collaboration between hotel owners and local officials to protect business interests, strengthen the hospitality community, and support Houston’s thriving economy.
He also highlighted the city’s ongoing efforts to secure major events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which would bring significant tourism and economic opportunities to the metropolitan area.
AAHOA’s Back of the House Tours serve as a valuable platform to connect policymakers with hotel owners, offering firsthand insight into daily operations and the vital role hoteliers play in their communities.
