I wanted to share this report from the North Pacific Hotel Owners Conference & Trade Show. Thank you to Dr. Reddy (@CGISFO) for his gracious comments about AAHOA.
Consul General[CG] Dr. K. Srikar Reddy attended the 2024 Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) Conference & Trade Show on 23 May 23 2024. This event, held in partnership with the California Hotel & Lodging Association (CHLA), took place at the South San Francisco Conference Center. The gathering brought together many hoteliers and small business owners. CG appreciated AAHOA for its considerable impact on the US economy and its efforts to strengthen trade relations between the USA and India, especially in the hospitality sector. He noted that AAHOA members own over 61% of hotels in California and substantially contribute to the state's GDP. @aahoa @CALodging @DiasporaDiv_MEA @MEAIndia @IndianEmbassyUS

Fantastic weekend in Bluffton, South Carolina! Met with @SenJoniErnst from my home state of Iowa and discussed key issues challenging @AAHOA Members and the hotel industry in 2024. She is an amazing leader, and it is a joy to connect with her on every level.
