Note from TMD Board Chair, Javier Cano

Dear LATMD Hoteliers,

Thank you to everyone who joined us at last month’s Annual TMD Hotel Meeting. With a full room and engaged discussion throughout, the energy was unmistakable. Feedback from attendees reflected a shared sense of optimism among Los Angeles hoteliers as we look ahead to the remainder of 2026 and the opportunities on the horizon. For those who were unable to attend, please see the recap of the Annual Meeting below.

Looking ahead, much of that momentum is driven by Los Angeles’ role as a host city for the FIFA World Cup 26™. This once-in-a-generation event is expected to generate significant economic impact across the city and heightened international exposure. For TMD hotels, this presents a meaningful opportunity to capture new demand while showcasing the breadth and quality of LA’s hospitality offerings on a global stage.

We look forward to continuing the conversation and building on this momentum together. We hope to see you at the next round of TMD Regional Meetings in July.

Sincerely,
Javier Cano
