Did you know…

…that over $200 million dollars in Hotel Occupancy taxes went directly to local city governments in the North Texas area in recent years?

The Hotel Association works for you. We provide a forum for the hotel community to speak with a unified voice, acting on your behalf on issues relating to proper use of hotel taxes, issues that affect the way you do business, and the issues that impact the way the metroplex competes with other major destinations.
