Alberta Hotel & Lodging Association

On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the Alberta Hotel & Lodging Association, we would like to extend our gratitude and good wishes as the holidays approach, and 2024 comes to a close. We know that many AHLA members and your colleagues will be working over Christmas as you extend the warmth and hospitality of the season to your guests. Whether this is a busy or a quiet time for you, we wish each of you and your staff a peaceful and relaxing holiday, and a prosperous New Year. Through the AHLA, over 650 hotels, motels, inns and resorts from Waterton to Zama, and from Jasper to Lloydminster work together to achieve more than any single hotel could on their own. It has been a pleasure to connect with our members around the province over the last year, and we look forward to serving you in 2025. Happy Holidays!

Make sure your employees are protected with the Canadian Hospitality Health Plan (CHHP).
