Membership Benefits & Application

Joining the Pigeon Forge Hospitality & Tourism Association (PFHTA) could be the best decision you make this year. Whether you own, manage or are employed by a lodging facility, restaurant, theater, attraction, retail or a business closely associated with the Hospitality Industry, there are plenty of unique benefits to be gained by joining the PFHTA. The money you save through legislative action on behalf of the hospitality industry, networking with other hospitality members, or discounts you may receive through your membership in the PFHTA, far out weigh the member dues.

BENEFITS IN “BRIEF”

Expansion
After 40 years of successfully supporting Hospitality Lodging Industry in Pigeon Forge, the former Pigeon Forge Lodging Association (now PFHTA) has expanded membership to include Pigeon Forge restaurants, attractions, theaters and retail.  We feel that our businesses can benefit and be much stronger as a whole if all of those in the Hospitality Industry are represented with one unified voice through the PFHTA.
Networking
The PFHTA is one of the largest hospitality/tourism associations in Tennessee and provides the opportunity for you to meet/network with other hospitality owners, operators, employees and suppliers on a regular basis throughout the year.  Members are encouraged to participate in the regular membership meetings/events and be active serving on committees within the PFHTA.
Legislative
The PFHTA works closely with both the state (HTN/Hospitality Tennessee) and national (AH&LA) associations to ensure that Pigeon Forge is well represented in all legislative issues that deal with the hospitality/tourism industry. The PFHTA board and members work very closely with our city officials and local representatives to protect the Premier Resort Status we have all come to depend upon as well as the local/state tourism budget and funding. None of these things can be done without your ongoing and active support.  Your membership and dues directly benefit these very important ongoing efforts.
Meetings
The PFHTA meets monthly throughout the year, generally the 2nd Thursday of each month for either breakfast of lunch at various venues.  The meeting agendas feature current/ongoing topics and key speakers that directly affect the Hospitality Industry.  Whether it is a speaker from OSHA guiding us on the most current policies, or a representative from one of our local governmental organizations, we learn ways to better our business, improve the quality service we provide our guests and create a work environment our employees are proud to be associated. We strive to bring content that is beneficial to all our members.

It is important to note that over the past 40 plus years, the PFHTA has always been, and continues to be, committed to supporting our tourism based community and economy.  In 2020, in addition to our contribution to Political Action Committees, PFHTA made thousands of dollars in charitable contributions to local entities including Walter’s State Community College financial assistance, The Boys and Girls Club of the Smoky Mountains, Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic, Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries and scholarships for Pigeon Forge High School students.

We certainly hope you will become an active member of the Pigeon Forge Hospitality & TOURISM Association.
