MEMPHIS, TN./HOUSTON, TX, Oct. 25, 2010—The Latino Hotel Association (LHA), a newly formed global organization dedicated to expanding Latino ownership, leadership and commerce in the hotel industry, today announced that it has formed a strategic alliance with Source1 Purchasing to enhance the food and beverage pricing power of LHA members.
“Hotel food and beverage operations historically have lower margins than the rooms side of hotels,” said Scott Hoffmire (middle left photo), F.M.P., founder and CEO of Source1 Purchasing.
“Through our unique Buyers’ Marketplace program, we will provide LHA members with more attractive pricing options through more than 500 existing manufacturer agreements representing more than 6,000 food, beverage and supply products.
“Also, LHA members will earn rebates on items they purchase, with Source1 providing tracking, collection and allocation of rebates.”
“One of our founding principles is to add value to our membership, including strategic relationships, like this one with Source1,” says Angela Gonzalez-Rowe, (top right photo) president and founder of LHA. “Source1 has been named a Top Purchasing Company for 2009 and 2010 by a leading hotel publication, which attracted us to them.”
Under the alliance, LHA members will have the collective buying power of more than $5 billion in leveraged purchasing volume.
Other benefits include secure online access to customized reports, success tools, education and trend and partnership data. The Buyers’ Marketplace program offers free access to a broad cross-section of regional and national partner distributors.
