Over the past 30 years ALHI has grown to properly address increased market demand for its AAA Four- and Five-Diamond quality hotels and resorts.
ORLANDO, FL – Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI) is celebrating a significant milestone in 2016: 30 years of National Sales Organization (NSO)/Global Sales Organization (GSO) service to the North American meetings & incentive marketplace. Impressively, ALHI is the longest established and leading independent Global Sales Organization specifically serving the North American meetings & incentive marketplace.
Beginning in 1986 with just 14 hotels and resorts to launch the dues-based “Associated” Luxury Hotels in order to provide local National Sales Offices (NSO) and sales services for its independent and emerging brand Member hotels and resorts, ALHI now provides authorized sales support exclusively for its portfolio of more than 250 luxury-level (mostly independent) hotels and resorts worldwide that are M&I focused. Starting with only one office in Washington, D.C. in 1986, ALHI now has 20 professionally staffed GSO offices, from coast-to-coast throughout North America.
Over the past 30 years ALHI has grown to properly address increased market demand for its AAA Four- and Five-Diamond quality hotels and resorts. ALHI’s portfolio now features more than 100 international hotel and resort options in 45 countries, plus Alliance members that include Destination Management Companies (DMCs) in over 100 destinations, and a variety of 23 luxury-level cruise ships set for the M&I markets, to complement its extensive luxury portfolio in the U.S. ALHI is a member dues-funded Global Sales Organization, so there is no cost to the planning organization to capitalize upon the access with the ALHI GSO professionals, providing valuable expertise, solution options, and ease of discussing viable opportunities for programs.
