“The demand for hotels in Waco is growing rapidly,” replied Carla Pendergraft, who markets the Waco Convention Center, to the survey. “We’re seeing a lot of hotels fully booked for the fall when a lot of events are coming back. Despite all the new hotels opening in the area, demand outstrips supply at times. The prices we see reflect supply and demand .

“We are pleased that demand is returning and that our hotel industry is gradually recovering.”
