HOC advocacy

Hotel owners have a voice. We make it louder.

Independent owners carry the cost of rules written with the big chains in mind. HOC exists so those owners are heard, together.

What we are working on

The issues that cost owners the most.

Campaign updates and ways to take part open to members soon. Coming soon

Occupancy taxes

Local tax increases land on guests and on owner margins. We want owners heard before rates move.

Staffing and labor

Rules and visa programs that make it possible to keep a property fully staffed.

OTA commissions

A fairer deal on third-party booking fees, so direct bookings can compete.

Brand mandates

Renovation demands, fees and terms that franchisors push onto the owner.

Insurance costs

Premiums that rise faster than risk. Buying as a block is part of the answer.
