About FAL&HA

The Fredericksburg Area Lodging & Hospitality Association is comprised of active Fredericksburg Area Lodging and Hospitality owners and managers. The purpose of FAL&HA is to champion the concerns of the Lodging and Hospitality industry in the local area. Tourism is a hugely important part of the Fredericksburg economy. Local lodging businesses contribute approximately $1 million per year to the Fredericksburg Bed Tax fund.

The City Council allocates up to 5/7 of the Bed Tax to the Fredericksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) for the purposes of promoting area tourism. The remaining 2/7 is allocated to various local groups to fund programs that attract visitors to the area. The CVB requests this allocation each year from the City Council. FAL&HA plays a vital role in providing feedback on the industry's perspective regarding CVB initiatives.

The Fredericksburg Area Lodging and Hospitality Association believes the involvement of all area lodging and hospitality businesses is the key to a healthy Fredericksburg tourism industry. FAL&HA members are intimately involved with attracting visitors to the Fredericksburg area as well as showing concern with the quality of the tourist experience offered by Fredericksburg. FAL&HA is the owner's opportunity to stay informed about area issues, events, and promotions as well as upcoming or new state and local legislation that can impact business.
