The Association of Lodging Professionals
Have you ever pondered these questions?
- How do I get more guests to Book Direct?
- How should I be marketing to the post-Covid traveler?
- How do I handle a threat or lawsuit related to ADA compliance?
- Is paying for Social Media ads even worth it?
We get it! You enjoy your guests and running your own business, but finding the answers to these types of questions can be a challenge. Sure, there are groups, forums, and searches, but is the information reliable and practical?
The Association of Lodging Professionals (ALP) is a non-profit association that focuses on professional development and the resources to help our members’ businesses flourish. We advocate for the hospitality industry in media relations and by influencing public policy.
