Hotel Lobby

WANTED: Big Hotel CEOs

The Big Hotel lobbying arm wants to tax middle class Americans to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars while forcing competition out of the market in order to further increase profits that line the pockets of these multi-billion, multi-national corporations.

We have created a list below of the worst offenders.

If you’ve had enough of these price-gouging fat-cats and believe that hard-working American’s have the right to use home share platforms to earn the extra cash they need to make ends meet, sign our petition below.

Sign the Petition!


quotes

The New York law “should be a big boost in the arm for the business…certainly in terms of the pricing.”

Michael Barnello, CEO, LaSalle Hotel Properties


Home sharing is providing everyday Americans with the extra income they need to make ends meet. It also makes our communities stronger. This isn’t about home share v. hotel. This is right v. wrong.

quotes

“If you look at business around marathons as an example, where we used to have really intense compression and an ability to price maybe what the customer would describe as sort of gouging rates… I’d say we’ve lost a lot of that ability at this point within the major markets where these events take place.”

Jon Bortz, CEO, Pebblebrook Trust
