5 Things to Know About AAHOA This August

12026 HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE. Ensure you’re prepared as we enter the peak months for hurricanes and tropical storms. Many AAHOA Member-owned hotels are located in or near the path of hurricanes, making preparedness a top priority. We encourage all hoteliers to have a plan in place and use AAHOA as a resource to protect their families, guests, and properties from the impact of hurricanes. Learn more here.

2AAHOA CONGRATULATES MANAV SHAH. Manav Shah, the son of two AAHOA Members, competed in the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in June, where he posted respectable rounds of 73 and 74 during the championship.
