The Quiet Good

The Quiet Good

At the request of the International Society of Hotel Association Executives (ISHAE), the Foundation provided funding to collect information on the value of goods, services, and money donated by hotels throughout the nation and to the various communities in which they reside. The project, entitled The Quiet Good, was conducted by Virginia Tech, and surveyed hotels both at the property and corporate levels as well as reviewed lodging-related foundation tax records. The total value of contributions nation-wide at the property-level totaled $815 million in 2005 which represented 3.6% of total industry profits of $22.6 billion. With contributions at the corporate level estimated at $8.6 million and $53.2 million from lodging-related foundations, the grand total for 2005 is $877 million. The final report is posted on the Members Only section of AH&LA's Website under Hot Topics.
