The IHLA team works tirelessly to protect and promote the interests of the hotel and lodging industry in state and local governments throughout Iowa. As the leading voice for hospitality in Iowa, we advocate for legislation and regulations that promote hotel industry growth statewide. Each year, the IHLA develops a robust advocacy agenda to ensure that hotels can continue to serve as one of the state’s top economic engines, employers and tax generators.
Key Areas of IHLA Engagement:
- Protecting hotel operations from government overreach
- Fighting excessive credit card swipe fees on state taxes
- Eliminating double taxation on required hotel supplies
- Aligning Iowa’s state per diem rates with federal standards
- Increasing funding for state and local travel promotion
- Ensuring fair and transparent Tourism Improvement Districts
