While the current pandemic has fundamentally changed the hospitality industry, strategies can be implemented to safeguard profitability. The HAA team’s passion, diverse skillset, and national presence can help clients not just survive these tumultuous times, but to thrive.”

  • Renovation Construction Management Services
  • Debt and Equity Restructuring
  • Expert Testimony for Foreclosure and Bankruptcy

HAA also formed a special division, “Hospitality Tech Experts”, which focuses on integrating cutting edge technology into the hospitality industry.

“Now more than ever, technology is critical to the hospitality industry,” said Chandiramani. “That’s why we created a special division to help the industry adapt. Used wisely, the right technology platform can enhance operational efficiency for maximized profits while simultaneously improving the guest experience and safety.”
