Ortiz International Center to discuss the long road to recovery the region is facing after Hurricane Harvey. The storm roared ashore in Aransas County as a Category 4 hurricane Aug. 25, devastating that area and inflicting heavy damage on nearby towns, like Aransas Pass, Ingleside and Port Aransas.</p><p class="p-text">In the aftermath of the storm, it has become clear that the recovery will take a long time for some areas, as many local businesses were left shuttered or in a state of uncertainty.</p><p class="p-text">"Many of our hotels, attractions and dining options are closed and some of them may never come back — they may be indefinitely closed," said Paulette Kluge, CEO of the Convention and Visitors Bureau. "The loss of revenue is crippling these cities and they're hurting the operating budgets of the cities in our area."</p><p class="p-text">Kluge was part of a panel discussing the storm's impact on the local hotel and tourism industries. Other panels talked about new building materials and practices post-Harvey, and there was an update from Texas A&amp;M Chancellor John Sharp, who is overseeing the governor's Commission to Rebuild Texas.</p><p class="p-text">The tourism industry is vital for cities that make up the local Coastal Bend area, Kluge said. Rockport and Port Aransas have been left crippled by Hurricane Harvey, with most of their hotels closed due to damage from the storm. Ingleside, Kluge said, has none of its six hotels open.</p><div id="module-position-QpKQ44EPIcc" class="story-asset image-asset"><aside itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="wide single-photo"><img itemprop="url" src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/580cd45da4911f9075b6750e0ae9271fdd6ca9da/c=744-0-6702-4480&amp;r=x408&amp;c=540x405/local/-/media/2017/11/06/TXGroup/CorpusChristi/636455656709978212-817586001-harvey-red-cross11.JPG" alt="Gov.
