Why the AAHOA Conference is important to us

We are coming to the AAHOA (Asian American Hotel Owners Association) Conference! The entire GRP team is excited to attend the 21st annual AAHOA Conference, to be held in Dallas in just a few weeks.

What makes the AAHOA conference so important to us?

Making Connections

We love talking on the phone and emailing our clients and lending partners. We even learn from each other on Zoom and conference calls. But AAHOACon is for us, being in “the room where it happens”. We have the opportunity to see our clients face to face, to hear about their successes and challenges and their dreams. We find the time to get to know our clients better and figure out how we can help these entrepreneurs realize their dreams.

Finding Strength 

It is no secret that the hospitality industry has borne the brunt of COVID-19 economically. Owners and funders alike have seen revenues drop to unheard of lows. Finally, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. However, it has been two years since our organization convened. During this time, it was easy to feel isolated or even disheartened. It will be exciting to envision progress and prosperity with a large group of like-minded people who are ready to be back in business. GRP Capital President Rick Patel notes, “Our entire team will be at AAHOA Convention; it’s an important time in the hospitality industry and we want to make sure that we all meet and get to know the people who can use our assistance.”

Learning Together

There is much to learn from many experts. We can take away a ton of knowledge from attending the huge variety of educational opportunities at the AAHOA conference. Even more important, our learning is enhanced by being surrounded by our peers and mentors, clients and lending partners, old friends and new acquaintances.
