In its role as Regional Media Partner, GERENCIA DE HOTELES, will help IH&RA to communicate more effectively with its association and corporate members throughout Latin America, and the Caribbean. Planned activities include editorial columns, advertisement and future conferences impacting the Latin American hospitality industry.

"GERENCIA DE HOTELES is pleased to join forces with the one truly global association of our industry," said Max Jaramillo, President of Latin Press, Inc. "IH&RA does a lot of lobbying for the good of the worldwide industry. We are delighted to join forces with them to open channels of communication between Latin America and the world."

"IH&RA is very pleased to partner with GERENCIA DE HOTELES & RESTAURANTES which has a broad reach to hotel and restaurant professionals in Latin America. We are also delighted to be able to communicate via Gerencia de Hoteles & Restaurantes in Spanish," said David McMillan, IHRA CEO. "This is a win-win for Latin American leaders in hospitality who will be interested in the many issues that are relevant to Latin America that are discussed and debated on the world stage. It is important that Latin American concerns are voiced," says McMillan, "and the IH&RA has placed high importance on active membership from this region which today is sadly lacking."
