What the IAHI Means to Members.

“As IHG franchisees, I believe we have an obligation to take part in the future of our investment and become more effective brand citizens. Part of that obligation is joining the IAHI and taking an active role. The IAHI gives you direct contact with IAHI leadership and IHG executives who make decisions that affect your hotel investment. Why wouldn't you take advantage of this opportunity to express your concerns, ask questions about initiatives, and participate in making the strategic decisions? The strength of our diversity will only make us, and the IAHI, stronger."
– Bakulesh (Buggsi) Patel, IAHI Holiday Inn Express Committee Member

“The greatest strength the Association brings is that it represents the interests of all franchisees’ with one voice to InterContinental Hotels Group. It gives me a say on the issues important to my business, which protects my investment and makes me financially stronger.”
– Bharat Patel, Sun Development & Management Corporation

“To me, the Association means an exchange of ideas, best practices and insight on how to fine tune the operations of my InterContinental Hotels Group-branded hotels.”
– David Shamoian, Peabody Hotel Group

“There is a fellowship among the members that is unique in the hospitality industry.”
– Jane Willett, G-REM, Inc.

“ The IAHI is the only organization in the franchised hotel business where hotel owners can help create and implement policy. In most other franchised hotel systems, the owners are order takers relegated to implementing policy dictated by company executives.”
– David Hart, Hart Hotels

“The IAHI has worked hard to form a strong relationship with our franchisor. This makes for simply a better system of cooperation and financial return.”
– Mike Conway, Winegardner & Hammons, Inc.
