In a global bad economy during the COVID-19, it was challenging time for all the different hotel businesses. However, one segment that outperforms the rest of the hospitality industry is extended stay hotels. They tend to have bigger rooms containing well-equipped kitchens and are priced for the budgeted guests. They offer long term accommodation for people who need to stay; for a week, a month, six months, multiple years or longer, such as businessmen on extended trips, families on long holidays, and/or people who are seeking more permanent places to stay. This means these hotels can almost count on always being profitable and remaining stable in the market despite unstable conditions of the world economy. Extended stay bounces back despite the pandemic crisis and it has reached a record high in recent years.

The Texas House, split largely along party lines, voted Thursday to make it a crime to camp in public areas across the state.
House Bill 1925, filed largely in response to Austin s struggle with people experiencing homelessness since the City Council lifted a local camping ban in 2019, next goes to the Texas Senate, where a similar bill by Sen. Dawn Buckingham, R-Lakeway, has not gotten out of committee.
Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, R-Southlake, insisted that his bill does not make being homeless illegal in Texas. This is a humanitarian issue, plain and simple. Unsheltered individuals are left literally out in the cold. These individuals are mistreated and untreated. Public safety and public health are at risk, Capriglione said during Wednesday s initial debate on the bill, which received final passage Thursday on an 88-56 vote.
