National Issues

​The Massachusetts Lodging Association works closely with the American Hotel & Lodging Association to represent the hospitality industry on the federal level to address industry issues on the national stage. Together, MLA and AHLA effectively utilize industry resources to make a profound impact on public policy and federal legislation and to make sure that the voices of industry partners and property managers are heard in Congress.

Protect your Property: Security Links
It is important for MLA members to be prepared for unexpected security situations. There are a number of resources available - some directed to hotels, some more general. If you would like to share additional resources, or example policies from your property or business, please contact Chris Pappas cpappas@masslodging.com.
