How did national housekeeping week start?

National Housekeeping Week was established in 1983 by the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI) to recognize the critical role of housekeeping staff in the hospitality industry. It aims to honor and celebrate the hard work and dedication of housekeeping professionals who ensure cleanliness and comfort in hotels and other facilities. The week serves as an opportunity to raise awareness about the significance of their contributions to guest satisfaction and overall hotel operations.
