Business travelers flying to Houston, Texas are usually surprised by the friendly and warm atmosphere the city radiates toward the corporate traveler. As the fourth most populous city in the United States, Houston has not much been affected by the economic downturn that has plagued most other cities around the globe.
Because the city is in the heart of the country’s booming gas and oil industry, over the last five years the region has outpaced any other city in the United States in job growth. For the most part the city has not been touched by the recession and the attitude of the populous is upbeat. Next to Chicago and New York City, Houston is the headquarters for more Fortune 500 companies than any other city in the country.
Houston is relatively inexpensive for corporate travelers despite its popularity among the business elite. Gas prices are lower than just about anywhere else, so renting cars and driving around town is inexpensive. If your stay is short term, hotels in the four- and five-star range are 20 percent cheaper than most other big cities and there are plenty of furnished apartments if your stay will be long term. Two busy airports serve the city with plenty of airline competition to keep the fares low.
Houstonians dine out more than any other city in the United States, on average about four times a week, so the high-class restaurants are abundant, dynamic and diverse, while prices remain reasonable. Most businesses and hotels are inside Houston’s 610 “Loop” with the notable exception of The Woodlands, a fast growing corporate suburb located 32 miles north of downtown.
