HemisFair opens with room shortage across San Antonio
HemisFair begins April 6 and lodgings are booked in major hotels and motels. Officials report high demand, with Austin hotels fully sold and many San Antonio apartment owners raising nightly rates. Travel agents note prices rising up to 30 percent due to wage boosts, while the Visitor’s Service Bureau enforces rate rules and room allocation for April.
