The Issues We Champion
Shared Challenges, Shared Solutions: Hotels and short-term rentals face many of the same regulatory, public safety, and cost pressures—and are stronger when addressing them together:
• Fair Rules for All Operators: Unity prevents policymakers from dividing the industry and ensures regulations are consistent, practical, and applied evenly.
• Greater Political Impact: A single, coordinated voice has more influence in shaping policy and elections than fragmented advocacy efforts.
• Protecting Tourism and Local Jobs: Collaboration strengthens the entire hospitality ecosystem—supporting guests, workers, neighborhoods, and the Los Angeles local economy.
Clean & Sustainable Communities
Clean, safe, and well-maintained neighborhoods are essential to the hospitality industry. They build guest confidence, protect business viability, and drive sustainable tourism growth. Hotel owners, operators, and short-term rental hosts have a direct stake in vibrant streets, secure public spaces, and infrastructure that serves both residents and visitors alike.
The Los Angeles Hospitality Partnership champions policies that:
-
Prioritize clean streets, public safety, and enhanced quality of life in every neighborhood
-
Advance responsible waste management and environmental stewardship
-
Promote smart, sustainable urban planning that balances business needs with community well-being
-
Invest in modern infrastructure that supports a thriving tourism economy and stronger local neighborhoods By leading on clean and sustainable communities, LAHP safeguards hospitality investments, elevates the guest experience, and helps ensure Los Angeles remains one of the world’s most desirable destinations—for visitors and residents alike.
Safe & Resilient Neighborhoods
Public safety is essential to hospitality success. Guests, employees, and residents must feel safe for neighborhoods—and the tourism economy—to thrive. Hotel owners, hotel operators, and short-term rental hosts share a direct stake in effective public safety and emergency preparedness.
The Los Angeles Hospitality Partnership advocates for policies that:
Strengthen law enforcement presence and emergency response
Reduce crime and disorder through prevention and accountability
Improve preparedness for emergencies and major events
Support community safety efforts without overburdening responsible operators
By advancing practical, enforceable safety policies, LAHP helps protect people, property, and the long-term vitality of Los Angeles communities.
Economic Opportunity & Growth
Hospitality drives jobs, small businesses, and neighborhood investment across Los Angeles. Hotel owners, hotel operators, and short-term rental hosts share a common interest in policies that promote growth, reduce barriers, and attract visitors who support the local economy.
The Los Angeles Hospitality Partnership advocates for policies that:
Support small and locally owned hospitality businesses
Create jobs and strengthen workforce development
Encourage responsible investment in underserved communities
Reduce regulatory and cost burdens that limit growth
