VISIT OUR WEBSITE
The Vermont Lodging Association (VLA) is the result of a 2021 merger between the Vermont Inn and Bed & Breakfast Association (VIBBA) and the Vermont Lodging Coalition to "be the voice for the lodging industry in Vermont."
Mission: VLA is a volunteer-driven and member-funded advocacy group. We retain the professional and experienced lobbying firm Downs Rachlin Martin to represent the Vermont lodging industry; serve as the spokesperson for our industry; and provide educational, networking, and other resources to help a diverse membership of licensed Vermont lodging properties succeed.
