ADVOCACY

Advocacy
Advocating on behalf of our members is of primary importance for the board and staff of the Association. NYSHTA's legislative efforts take a multi-faceted approach which include helping legislators understand the particular challenges that the hospitality and tourism industries face. 

NYSHTA provides legislative updates and lobbying in Albany to prevent legislation that could jeopardize your financial recovery.

Yearly lobby day events are held in Albany to help to pave the way for members and industry partners to reach local and state legislators directly. ​
NYSHTA lobbies on issues such as:
  • Matching Grants
  • Short-Term Rentals
  • ADA Website Lawsuits
  • I LOVE NY Funding

  • Tourism Improvement Districts
  • Plastic Bottle Ban
  • Wage Theft Legislation
  • Prevailing Wage

Testimonial

"The most valuable benefit of a NYSHTA membership is their advocacy. This need has never been so critical as we deal with COVID-19. The need for effective lobbying never goes away, as we often have politicians who do not realize they are proposing new laws that are detrimental to our business, and to our success.”
