Note from TMD Board Chair, Javier Cano

Dear LATMD Hoteliers,

Happy New Year! We're excited to kick off 2026 and welcome you to what is shaping up to be a dynamic year for Los Angeles.

The months ahead bring tremendous visibility and opportunity for our destination--from global sporting events and major cultural moments to long-awaited enhancements across the region that will improve access, elevate the visitor experience, and strengthen LA's position as a world-class destination. It's a moment that allows us to build momentum together and keep Los Angeles top of mind for travelers, meeting planners, and event organizers around the world.

As always, your LATMD Board is working in close partnership with Los Angeles Tourism and the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission to ensure our collective efforts are focused, strategic, and delivering value for our Members.

We hope you'll plan to join us for the 2026 LATMD Annual Meeting on Wednesday, March 25, where we'll share a closer look at the year ahead and connect around priorities, insights, and opportunities.

Thank you for your continued partnership, and we look forward to working with you throughout 2026.

Sincerely,

Javier Cano
