Keeping the Hospitality Industry on a Pro-Growth Footing

Sub heading Supporting tax policies that encourage U.S. businesses to flourish, American workers and their families to thrive and the U.S. economy to remain the global leader.

March 16, 2026

As a pillar of the U.S. economy, the hotel industry creates jobs, promotes the American Dream and delivers essential services that boost local economies, foster tourism and facilitate business travel. However, rising operational costs, ongoing labor shortages and the approaching expiration of key tax provisions in 2025 threaten the industry's growth and long-term stability. These tax provisions are essential and provide critical resources for renovations, upgrades and other improvements that keep hotels competitive and modern. If these policies lapse, consequences would extend far beyond individual businesses, resulting in lost jobs, higher lodging costs and reduced investment in local communities.
