Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) Program

HMSHost has the industry’s largest ACDBE program and has been the leader in furthering the role of minority, women and disadvantaged business enterprises in the travel concessions business for over twenty five years. The number of minority, women and disadvantaged businesses (M/W/DBE) participating in the HMSHost ACDBE program and the revenues they have generated has increased year after year. HMSHost has more than 150 contracts with ACDBEs and with annual revenues approaching $400M.

HMSHost’s commitment to diversity remains steadfast, ensuring compliance and working to establish a level playing field accessible in airport concessions to all qualified small businesses. Compliance is not the only goal; rather HMSHost strives to bring to life a business model that is premised on success by inclusion. HMSHost's ACDBE partners benefit tremendously from a wealth of resources.

• A large portfolio of brands
• A full range of support services
• Training programs
• Comprehensive industry and business knowledge

Rigorous selection builds success. Through a carefully administered selection process, HMSHost identifies partners with the highest probability of success. HMSHost evaluates final proposals according to strict, objective criteria. Subject to airport authority approval, contracts go to candidates with the best qualifications.
