About ALP

It is important to you to operate a successful business whether you are an innkeeper, independent lodging owner, a unique lodging property, a hospitality professional, an aspiring hospitality professional, or an allied partner that supports our industry with your products and services. Operating a unique lodging property requires a variety of skills and access to resources. Marketing, management, staffing, finance, technology, legal issues, cooking, decorating, cleaning, safety, customer service, keeping up with guest trends, and advocating for your industry – the list is practically endless. To sum it up, you’re a professional.

In April 2018 the former for-profit PAII became a non-profit organization with the US IRS 501(c)6 designation. In January 2020, the Professional Association of Innkeepers International (PAII) and the Association of Independent Hospitality Professionals (AIHP) merged to form a new non-profit organization: the Association of Lodging Professionals (ALP).
