The City of Brotherly Love Welcomes

AAHOA & Hospitality International

It is interesting to note that Hospi-

tality International has been part of the AAHOA scene since its inception, all the

way back to when Mid South Indemnity brought together its first group of Asian

American hoteliers for the purpose of

fighting discrimination against Asian hotel owners, and to also assist in gaining fair-

ness in purchasing products and services. In essence, AAHOA was born out

of necessity, but it didn’t take long for

Asian Hoteliers to gain a foothold in the

lodging industry, and the lodging industry

in general began to look at AAHOA and its members in a brand new light.

Like any good history book, there is always the beginning, and then the meat

of the story unfolds, and the end; well, it

hasn’t been written yet, but with the new-est generation of Asian American hotel-

iers now at the helm of one of the most prestigious hotel associations, and certain-

ly among the largest (in member num-

bers), it is going to be a successful one. It certainly can be said that

AAHOA does not lack tenacity, embrac-ing the ever-changing political climate and

the future of technology; all the while re-

maining steadfast to it foundation of family

first, and faith in one another.

Many others could learn from their pages

of recent history on how to prosper and rise above the hardships they began with.

Hard work, education and the de-

sire to be their own boss was, and contin-

ues to be, the foundation that has set AAHOA and its members on a pedestal

many are envious of.

Hospitality International is proud to be a part of the AAHOA story, and remains a

friend to its Franchisees, present and past. It

often likens itself to Hospitality 101, providing

the first opportunity, which has proven to be a

lasting one. And, like any proud parent, we were happy to be part of the growth of our

Franchisees.

CONGRATULATIONS AAHOA! May you enjoy another 25 years of leadership

and growth in the hospitality and lodging in-

dustry!

Note: While some of the owners have changed, the hotel

itself has remained a franchise with Hospitality Internation-al since the year reflected. In one or two cases a franchise

agreement may have expired, but it was renewed in the same time frame, therefore the hotel is eligible to appear

here . . . and, in a few cases some of the franchises pre-

date Hospitality International.
