FAQs
HOW DO HOTELIERS GET INVOLVED WITH THE ILHA?
The ILHA no longer uses a traditional membership site model. Instead, hoteliers are invited to become directly involved by participating in our exclusive Advisory Committees and Councils. These intimate, virtual roundtables allow you to collaborate with 6 to 8 industry peers, discuss current challenges, and help shape the future of luxury hospitality. Hoteliers can also attend our webinars and the annual INSPIRE conferences to network and stay ahead of industry trends.
HOW CAN MY COMPANY BECOME AN ILHA PARTNER?
Companies engage with the ILHA by paying for a sponsorship package, which integrates them as official partners. To ensure intimacy and high-touch service, we strictly limit our partnerships to 50–60 companies globally per year. We operate differently than a standard trade association; we act as an extension of your marketing team. Partnerships include a mix of year-round digital marketing, thought leadership opportunities (like hosting webinars), and a booth to attend and exhibit at the INSPIRE conference.

WHAT IS AN ILHA ADVISORY COMMITTEE?
An Advisory Committee is an intimate, virtual roundtable discussion where we source 6 to 8 key luxury hoteliers to discuss specific industry challenges, trends, and R&D feedback. These are hosted by our partners, allowing companies to build organic relationships with decision-makers. The insights from these private meetings are synthesized into a published, co-branded report that benefits the wider hospitality community.
WHO MAKES UP THE ILHA COMMUNITY?
The ILHA is the largest global community of leaders shaping luxury hospitality and travel, boasting an audience of over 1,000,000 professionals across 90 countries. Our community is highly concentrated with decision-makers: 88% of our audience is at the Director level or above, with 30% in the C-Suite and 27% identifying as Owners or Asset Managers.

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ILHA AND THE INSPIRE CONFERENCE?
The ILHA is the parent association and "Think Tank" that provides year-round digital networking, marketing, and insights. The INSPIRE Luxury Hospitality Conference is the physical manifestation of our association. INSPIRE is intentionally designed as an "anti-expo," avoiding the chaotic feel of massive trade shows by capping attendance and limiting exhibiting partners so our network can converge, finalize deals, and set the industry agenda.
WHERE CAN I ACCESS PAST WEBINARS AND REPORTS?
Recordings of our past webinars are fully accessible on the ILHA website (ilha.org) under the "WATCH" tab. You can also find our published Advisory Committee Reports and the Luxury Hoteliers Articles in the "DISCOVER" section to stay up to date on the latest trends and data.
HOW DO I GET MY CONTENT PUBLISHED IN THE LUXURY HOTELIERS MAGAZINE?
Publishing on the ILHA's website is a primary benefit provided to our official ILHA Partners. Partners can submit case studies, PR announcements, and thought leadership pieces. These articles receive a powerful multi-channel promotion, including publication on the site, a dedicated feature in our weekly email newsletter, and LinkedIn distribution.
HOW CAN I SPEAK ON AN ILHA WEBINAR?
Our professionally produced webinars typically attract 200 to 600 registrations and feature a panel of luxury hotelier experts alongside an ILHA partner. Hoteliers are regularly sourced and invited by our communications team to participate as industry experts. For companies and suppliers, the opportunity to speak on and moderate a dedicated webinar is included within our year-long sponsorship packages.
