NYC Mayor Signs Intro. 0991 Safe Hotels Act to Enhance Standards for 60 Million Annual Visitors, Addressing $74 Billion Industry Impact
Nov 4, 2024, 09:34 PM
On November 4, 2024, New York City Mayor signed Intro. 0991 into law, known as the Safe Hotels Act, which aims to enhance safety and cleanliness standards in hotels. This legislation is expected to benefit the approximately 60 million annual visitors to the city and supports the hotel industry, which had an economic impact of $74 billion last year. The signing event included remarks about the significance of the law for both visitors and hotel employees, with references made to the case of Nafissatou Diallo, a hotel housekeeper who accused former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault. The law will also introduce licensing for hotels, aligning NYC with other cities that have implemented similar measures.
