The Quad Cities Lodging Association was organized in 2002 to be the voice of the lodging industry in the Quad Cities area.
The QCLA works in partnership with the Quad Cities Convention & Visitors Bureau to identify, solicit, fund, and and host events which benefits its members and community. The Quad Cities Lodging Association is also starting a new scholarship program to encourage young people to join the tourism industry.
The mission of QCLA is to provide sustainable quality lodging; to provide such lodging at a value-driven relationship with the visitor; to partner with the public and private sector to provide guidance in the areas of lodging, tourism, and customer service; and to assist in the coordination of resources to promote the Quad Cities as a destination that benefits members and the community.
