City Controller Releases Results Of Survey Of Local Businesses About Pope’s Visit
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia City Controller Alan Butkovitz has released the
results
of a survey of local businesses about the Pope’s visit and says he
found the most surprising thing was what has happened to hotels in the
city.
He says many have vacancies, room rates are dropping and at least one
hotel has given up on international visitors and now hopes just to get
other local
businesses
to use it to put up their workers through the weekend when roads are closed.
Butkovitz admits the survey is far from scientific. Out of thousands
of businesses in Center City, his office surveyed 250 and just 68
returned the questionnaire.
But he says the anecdotal
information
is revealing, particularly about hotels.
