AUSTIN, Texas - Aug. 12, 2015 - PRLog -- Hotels for Hope, the Austin, Texas-based hotel brokerage company, today announced its recognition, for the second year in a row, on the 2015 Inc. 500|5000 List, an exclusive ranking of America’s fastest growing privately held companies. Ranking no. 529 overall and no. 6 in the Travel and Hospitality category, Hotels for Hope combines industry-leading hotel brokerage services with cutting-edge technology to benefit its clients and make a difference in the lives of children around the world.

“We’re honored to be recognized for the second year in a row by Inc.

To date, Hotels for Hope has independently donated over $450,000 to various charities.
