THE AMERICAN HOTEL & Lodging Association convened hotel and sustainability leaders in Washington for the second annual "Responsible Stay Summit" on Feb. 28, reaffirming the industry's dedication to environmental sustainability. The summit was part of AHLA's 2022 Responsible Stay initiative and focused on energy efficiency, waste reduction, water conservation, and responsible sourcing, AHLA said in a statement. The summit addressed environmental, social, and governance strategies, federal energy policy, and green financing, while offering crucial support to hoteliers in their sustainability efforts, the statement added.

Washington DC, also known as the Chocolate City, is closely linked to Black History. The District of Colombia (DC) has always been home to Blacks. Metropolitan DC and environs such as Mount Vernon, Alexandria, Arlington for example, have good representation of Black History.

The big bus tours go all around DC and at the various locations, the guests can come down for short walks to see the areas then return to board the bus. We use the double-decker bus which allows tourists to have an unlimited view of the city. There are provisions for interpretations in foreign languages for tourists from non-English speaking countries. Our tours cover the popular landmarks in DC, and these are areas that will definitely be exciting for the entire family. You will also enjoy the moonlight tours to see the popular DC monuments and memorials all lit up at night. The lighting design is a spectacular sight to see at night. The tour options also include touring the city in ferries which gracefully glide at a slow pace on the water to give you the perfect view. Read more............

AS 2022 BEGINS, many of the issues U.S. hoteliers faced in 2021, primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic, are likely to continue. The year past also saw other changes, such as new leadership at AAHOA and a new administration in Washington, D.C. Below are the top stories covered by Asian Hospitality during 2021. They also include ongoing economic relief as the hospitality industry continued its struggle to recover from the pandemic; the return to in-person conventions; and powerful natural disasters. The year began with some optimism that the end of the pandemic was near. Several kinds of vaccines were announced in December 2020, and the rollout continued into 2021. Hoteliers did what they could to promote vaccination, including AAHOA's "Pledge to Protect Our Guests, Employees, and Businesses" initiative. Hoteliers who sign the pledge will provide time, reduce barriers and consider incentives to encourage their employees to get vaccinated when they are available. They also will encourage COVID-19 safety precautions, including wearing masks and social distancing. "Thanks to AHLA's ongoing efforts, the CDC has updated its guidelines prioritizing hotel workers under Phase 1c of the COVID-19 vaccines distribution. This is a significant achievement that directly impacts the health and safety of hotel workers across the country. It also recognizes that hotel employees continue to be on the front lines of the pandemic," Chip Rogers, AHLA president and CEO said at the time.
