The migrant crisis has been a windfall for hotels, but Vijay Dandapani has sought to ensure stability for his industry that has struggled since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The hotel industry advocate recently renewed a $1.04 billion emergency city contract after the city has already spent $2.3 billion to house asylum-seekers. He warned that the City Council’s Safe Hotels Act would drive up prices but withdrew his objections after a series of negotiations. Now Dandapani is focused on combating city legislation that would ease restrictions on Airbnb.
We are pleased to announce that the HANYC Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, will be offering six scholarship awards of $10,000 each this year.
Our vision is to transform the New York City hotel industry into a recognized champion of sustainable hospitality in the United States and in the World. On this external site we share best practices, innovations and sustainable initiatives.
Human trafficking is incredibly widespread and our hotels have an important role to play in keeping our community and our hotels safe from this harm.
