MHLA Hotel Members Benefit from:

ADVOCACY

  • Be part of a powerful voice, strengthened with every member, as MHLA lobbies the Maryland General Assembly and County / City Councils to ensure a positive regulatory environment for Maryland’s lodging industry.  Some wins include:
  • $50M in direct relief for hotels allocated by Governor Hogan and distributed by counties in 2021
  • Defeated burdensome statewide legislation aimed at hotels – predictive scheduling - which would have significantly restricted an employer’s ability to adjust schedules with less than 3 weeks notice 
  • Successfully amended human trafficking prevention training legislation so that it mirrors action already taken by the industry

HOTEL COST SAVINGS

  • Protect against unreasonable regulations impacting profitability and operations.
    For example, MHLA efforts resulted in:

    Passage of sensible regulations protecting guests from carbon monoxide poisoning and saving hotels upwards of $1,450 per guest room.
    Passage of legislation allowing hotel operators to determine their need for a lifeguard in hotel pools under a certain size, potentially saving hotels $20–65 K annually.
