“If you look at what’s supporting the hotel industry right now, it’s leisure travel, it’s special events, concerts, Lollapalooza,” Illinois Hotel & Lodging Association spokesperson Michael Jacobson said. “They go a long way to driving individual weekends; but the real story is what hasn’t come back.” Conventions and business travel have yet to rebound to their pre-pandemic levels and the Illinois Hotel & Lodging Association predicts it could be at least a year before they do.
Just found a place for all those illegal migrants- empty hotel rooms!
Have at it, illegals, they are there for the asking (or is that demanding?)

Business travel is gone for good.
Blame Chicago crime first.
Next blame crooked unions that make trade shows here cost too much.
Then blame the fact that Zoom makes traveling for a business meeting obsolete.
As the article points out, the fake news fraud media reports — about Chicago hotel business booming — was only a “boom” of inflated hotel rates, not any sustained trend towards higher occupancy.
