The AHLA met with the Honourable Minister of Culture and Tourism to present its position and recommendations to government on Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) and the Short Term Online Rental Marketplace (STORM).
“These issues are important for AHLA members, government, and consumers. Regulation is needed to level the playing field for businesses that have significantly invested in Alberta’s economy; to collect additional tax revenues from those not presently contributing; and to ensure the safety, security, and satisfaction of the consumer.”
