Hotel trade group spends $305,000 lobbying in 2Q

WASHINGTON — The American Hotel & Lodging Association spent $305,000 in the second quarter lobbying federal officials on labor issues, matters affecting small businesses and other items, according to a recent disclosure report.

That’s less than the $350,000 the group spent lobbying in the same period last year and even with the $305,000 the group spent in the first quarter.

The trade group, which represents hotel companies, also lobbied the federal government on travel to Cuba, immigration and pool and spa safety in the quarter from April through June.

The trade group lobbied both houses of Congress, the Departments of Labor, Commerce and Homeland Security, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and others, according to a disclosure report it filed July 20 with the House clerk’s office.
