The California Lodging Industry Association joins with our state and national leaders, and all citizens in grieving the loss of so many innocent lives during the tragic events of September 11th.
Travel is one of America's cherished freedoms.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of those who have lost their lives or are injured. We express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the thousands of police officers, firefighters, military and medical personnel and other volunteers who have risked their lives to rescue, attend and comfort the victims. Finally, we extend our prayers and support to our leaders as they face difficult decisions in the days and weeks ahead. We offer our full support as we work to reassure the American people and people of the world that their fundamental right to live, work and travel without fear is secure.
