Additionally, the subscription grants access to the newly-available USALI Revenue and Expense Dictionary, a searchable database of revenue and expense line items and their applicable schedules.

The revision process for the 12th Revised Edition has been overseen by the Global Finance Committee (GFC), jointly sponsored bythe American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) and HFTP. The GFC comprises global financial leaders from AHLA’s Financial Management Committee and HFTP members representing the most prominent global hotel brands, operators, owners, and other industry authorities. The GFC has meticulously revised this essential publication with enhancements incorporating financial and operating changes, a new sustainability section, and a section specific to all-inclusive hotels. The adoption date for this edition is January 1, 2026.

HFTP and GFC members created a webinar series called “USALI 12th Revised Edition Deep Dive” to assist readers in understanding the changes made for this edition.
