    The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House of Representatives United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 March 20, 2020 Dear Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and Leader McCarthy: We are America’s travel industry, an economic sector that directly employs 9 million American workers and supports a total of 15.8 million jobs. The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.

  • BENCHMARK Adds Graduate Berkeley to Gemstone Collection, Formerly Hotel Durant
    BENCHMARK Adds Graduate Berkeley to Gemstone Collection, Formerly Hotel Durant 07/25/2017 The Woodlands (Houston), Texas, July 2017…BENCHMARK®, a global hospitality company, announces the addition of Graduate Berkeley to its Gemstone Collection. Formerly the historic Hotel Durant, the property has been revitalized and renamed Graduate Berkeley following an extensive renovation. Graduate Berkeley pays homage to the historic building’s roots and UC Berkeley founder, Henry Durant, through its distinct design and revitalization of Henry’s, the hotel’s restaurant and bar. A dynamic and expanding new boutique hotel brand, Graduate Hotels was founded in 2014 by AJ Capital Partners to create distinctive, approachable hotels in America’s most vibrant university-anchored towns. Each hotel reflects the local college and community in its eclectic décor, food and beverage programming options and homage to the school and town it is designed to serve. “We are delighted to reintroduce this iconic hotel as Graduate Berkeley, and to welcome this new brand to our Gemstone Collection portfolio,” says Alex Cabañas, Benchmark’s CEO. “The Gemstone and Graduate brands share the goals of providing highly personalized service and hospitality that reflects the charm and distinctive character of a destination while imaginatively inspiring guests with curated and memory-making experiences,” Mr. Cabañas observed. “Graduate Berkeley, with its rich history, distinguishing charm and new contemporary design will certainly provide that opportunity.” Mr. Cabañas also noted that since many firms have moved from San Francisco to the East Bay, the area has seen an increase in corporate travel in addition to the numerous visitors drawn to the Berkeley campus for reunions, games, events, college tours, meetings and academic and research projects.
