About Us
The Philippine Hotel Owners Association, Inc.
The Philippine Hotel Owners Association is a non-stock, non-profit organization composed of owners of the country’s major accommodation providers — hotels, resorts, tourist inns, pension houses, serviced apartments, and the like. We have been protecting and promoting the common interests and concerns of members by pooling together talents and resources that advocate the development of the Philippine accommodation industry.
About the Association
The Association was founded in 1977 by a group of hotel owners. PHOA, by virtue of being the largest group of hotel investors, developers, and owners, with 215 member hotels, is the voice of the accommodation sector.
PHOA is an advocacy group to protect the financial interests of hotel owners. It allows its general membership to be heard by the government lawmakers and executive departments on policy issues and unfair legislation that affect the viability of the hotel industry.
PHOA was established to:
Take up the role as the single, dominant voice representing the private business sector in the accommodation industry, especially in matters of policies, laws, rules, and regulations, and other dealings with the government.
Foster adherence to ethical and professional standards of fair business practices among accommodation providers to promote their common welfare. Our members must maintain amicable relations by fully cooperating and consolidating efforts in studying and solving various problems affecting their areas of activity and exchanging information related to the progress of the accommodation industry.
Promote, safeguard, and enhance the interests of members in all areas and relationships, including policies that may affect economic growth and industrial harmony.
Encourage unity, goodwill, and mutual cooperation among the entities engaged in the accommodation industry.
Serve as the forum for the development of a consensus for the accommodation industry.
