At AAHOA, innovation is not just a buzzword – it’s a commitment to rethinking how we serve our members, enhance our offerings, and create real value for hotel owners across the country. As we move into 2025, we’re taking bold steps to evolve our products, services, and benefits to better meet the needs of our ever-changing industry. One of the most exciting innovations is the relaunch of Today’s Hotelier magazine, now reinvigorated and reimagined for a new era.
Since its launch in 2016, Today’s Hotelier has been a cornerstone of AAHOA’s communication with members, providing insights, education, and industry perspectives to help hoteliers navigate challenges and opportunities. To take the magazine to the next level, we have partnered with The Wyman Company to bring fresh ideas, cutting-edge design, and an enhanced experience for our readership. This February issue marks the debut of our new publishing partnership, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.
So, what’s new?
- A Completely Redesigned Magazine – A bold, modern look with an upgraded layout to improve readability and engagement.
- New Content, Features, and Columns – More in-depth industry insights, expert perspectives, and fresh content tailored to hotel owners.
- A Member-Centric Approach – We’re putting AAHOA Members front and center, featuring more stories, contributions, and member highlights.
- Expanded Industry Partner Engagement – More opportunities for vendors, advertisers, and thought leaders to share valuable insights and solutions that benefit our membership.
But Today’s Hotelier is more than just a publication – it’s a platform built for AAHOA Members, by AAHOA Members. This magazine is a reflection of our vibrant and diverse community, and we want you to be a part of it.

This magazine relaunch is just one example of how AAHOA is embracing innovation to create more meaningful connections and valuable resources for our members. As we move forward into 2025, we remain committed to rethinking, reimagining, and reinvigorating the ways we serve America’s hotel owners.
I encourage you to dive into this issue, explore the new design, and get involved. Together, we are shaping the future of hospitality – one story at a time.
