Advocacy

NYSH&TA's mission statement is: "Lead and protect the New York State hospitality and tourism industry
by providing advocacy, education, and resources." Advocacy for our members is of primary importance for the board and staff of the association. NYSH&TA's legislative efforts take a multi-faceted approach which include helping legislators understand the particular challenges that the hospitality and tourism industries face. 

Yearly legislative roundtables held throughout the state help to provide a pathway for members to reach local and state legislators directly. NYSH&TA is also the lead association in the annual tourism action day held in Albany.
