In response to growing pressure on hotel profitability amid rising costs and slow growth, AAHOA and Kalibri have formed a strategic partnership to equip hotel owners and operators with the technology, data and training needed to strengthen profit margins and long-term asset performance.
AAHOA gains exclusive members-only pricing to Kalibri's Profit Platform and first-time access to the Certified Hotel Profit Strategist Program, giving them critical insights to make intelligent, data-driven decisions that grow profit — not just revenue. The combined benefits of member discounts to Kalibri's Profit Platform and the Profit Strategist certification will dramatically support members in growing profit and asset values, setting a new standard for how owners and operators measure and manage financial performance.
"For hotel owners, profit isn't just a number on a spreadsheet — it's the foundation for long-term growth and sustainability," AAHOA Chairman Kamalesh (KP) Patel said in a statement. "This partnership with Kalibri gives our members the tools and knowledge to make smarter, data-driven decisions that protect margins, unlock opportunities, and increase the value of their assets."
"AAHOA Members are facing one of the most challenging operating environments we have seen in years," said AAHOA President and CEO Laura Lee Blake. "When I saw Kalibri's data on where profitability is being lost, it was a wake-up call. This partnership gives our members a real opportunity to act — to understand their numbers, protect their margins, and make smarter, data-driven decisions. Our focus is to help every hotel owner not just survive, but truly thrive."
"Growing profit depends on understanding how to target the revenue opportunities that contribute to a hotel's bottom line," said Cindy Estis Green, CEO & Co-Founder of Kalibri. "By combining Kalibri's analytics with AAHOA's deep connection to hotel owners, we're helping them focus on what drives sustainable success — not just topline growth."
AAHOA members will be able to:
- Build profit-focused management skills through the AAHOA Certified Hotel Profit Strategist and forthcoming Certified Hotel Profit Analyst programs, powered by Kalibri.
- Access Kalibri's profit platform to uncover the most profitable opportunities by rate, channel, and segment.
