We are using every tool to make sure Congress understands that departing for the election without passing additional COVID relief is simply unacceptable. Our industry continues to struggle. Just today, AHLA released a new report which shows that absent another relief package, the Hotel Industry could lose over 3.7 million jobs. Congress can prevent this by working together for a solution. The senseless political posturing should stop!
There is some momentum building around a potential deal. House Democrats, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, released a $2.2 trillion COVID-19 relief bill in a long-shot push to break the stalemate on negotiations. This new bill is $1 trillion lower than the previous package and would provide a round of $1,200 stimulus checks, allow for a second draw of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), bring back the $600 federal boost to the unemployment benefit through January and provide direct federal assistance for the airline industry. The House is expected to vote on this legislation within the next 24 hours. If the bill passes, it faces uncertainty in the Senate, but it does increase pressure on the Senate to act.
