> Eric Terry ​​President eric@vrlta.org | The Virginia Restaurant, Lodging & Travel Association (VRLTA) has represented the Commonwealth’s restaurants, hotels and travel attractions for nearly 80 years. It's a name that honors the roots of the three originating establishments (VA Hotel & Motel Association, VA Restaurant Association, and VA Travel Council) and clearly aligns the Association with all of our members. Founded in 1993, VRLTA was formed to create a singular voice for the Restaurant, Hotel-Lodging, Travel, and Hospitality Suppliers Associations of Virginia. By joining together these associations were able to bring a much stronger, clearer voice to further the legislative priorities and interests of Virginia's restaurants, hotels, attractions, and destinations in front of Virginia's General Assembly and regulatory agencies. In addition, VRLTA works to promote and further the hospitality and tourism industry in the Commonwealth through educational offerings, networking opportunities, the sharing of information, and other support. |
