American Resort group spends $270K lobbying in 1Q

WASHINGTON — The American Resort Development Association spent $270,000 in the first quarter to lobby federal officials on laws related to travel promotion and consumer finance, according to a recent disclosure report.

That’s equal to what the trade group spent on lobbying in the fourth quarter and in the first quarter last year.

In January through March, the group also lobbied on legislation related to timeshares.

The group lobbied both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, according to the disclosure report it filed April 19 with the House clerk’s office.
