Hotel Advertising Cooperative
Explanation:
Some sites translated it as an "Advertising Community," but most of those sites were either natively German or Austrian... To me, "cooperative" is a better choice.

Norberts answer is right if the marketing is being outsourced


Explanation:
otherwise, if they are a group of Hotels (Brand Names) that jointly advertize, I would say, "Advertizing Cooperation" if possible, I would try to structure the sentence to be able to use "Cooperative Marketing" (which is the jargon and a buzz word in the industry right now!)

good luck...john
